23
Q

Direct loss of positive reinforcers.

A

Direct fines

24
Q

Loss of a specific amount of reinforcement contingent on a behavior.

Produces moderate-to-rapid decreases in behavior.

A

Response Cost

25
Q

When you make additional non-contingent reinforcers available to the individual and then take those away.

A

Bonus Response Cost

26
Q

Two Response Cost Methods:

HINT: BF

A

Bonus Response Cost and Direct Fines

27
Q

The individual is not removed from the space.

These are preffered because they are less restrictive

A

Non-exclusionary Time-out

28
Q

The individual is removed from space.

A

Exclusionary Time-out

29
Q

4 types of non-exclusionary time-out

HINT: IWOR

‘I WOR’ A RIBBON

A
  1. Ignoring/Planned Ignoring
  2. Withdrawal of a specified positive reinforcer
  3. Observation/Contingent observation
  4. Ribbon/Time-out Ribbon
30
Q

Social reinforcers (attention, physical contact, etc.) removed for a specific period of time.

A

Ignoring/planned ignoring

31
Q

Colored band placed on the individual’s wrist. This becomes discriminated for getting reinforcement.

Ribbon on= Reinforcement Earned

Ribbon off = No reinforcement earned

A

Ribbon/time-out ribbon

32
Q

Taking something preferred away.

A

Withdrawal of a specific positive reinforcer

33
Q

The individual is repositioned in the room, so they can observe everything, but do not participate.

A

Ovservation/ contingent observation

34
Q

Confined space outside the individual’s normal environment.

Devoid of positive reinforcers.

Make sure the individual is safely placed.

Should be located near the time-in setting. Minimal furnishing.

A

Room/Time-our room

35
Q

3 types of exclusionary time-out

HINT: RPH

A
  1. Room/time-out room
  2. Partition time-out
  3. Hallway time-out
36
Q

Individual sits in the hallway.

A

Hallway time out

37
Q

Individual remains in the room, but his/her view is restricted by a wall or partition.

A

Partition time out

38
Q

A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organism’s learning history with the stimulus.

No learning history. Products of phylogeny.

AKA: UCPs, Primary Punishers, Unlearned Punishers

A

Unconditioned Punishers/Punishment

39
Q

AKA For both is aversive control

One increases behavior and the other decreases behavior

Aversive event is added in one and removed away in the other.

A

Postive punishment vs negative reinforcement

40
Q

A previously neutral stimulus that now functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more punishers.

Learning history required.

Products of ontogeny.

AKA: CPs, Secondary Punishers, Learned Punishers

A

Conditioned Punsihers/Punishment

41
Q

A type if conditioned punisher that has been paired with many unconditioned and conditioned punishers.

Do NOT depend on an MO for its effectiveness.

Likely to be punishing at any time.

A

Generalized Conditioned Punishers

AKA: Generalized Punishers

42
Q

Verbal pairing procedure whereby previously neutral stimuli can become conditioned punishers or reinforced for humans without direct pairing.

A

Verbal Analog Conditioning

43
Q

AKA: EXT, Operant Extinction

A procedure that occurs when a previously reinforced response is discontinued, so that behavior decreases in the future.

No reinforcement ➡️ behavior decreases

A maintaining reinforcer is no longer provided.

A

Extinction

44
Q

3rd principle of ABA

NOT A PUNISHMENT PROCEDURE

Using extinction and punishment together is often effective.

Extinction will be more rapid with a behavior that has been maintained by a continuous schedule of reinforcement (CRF).

A

Things to know about EXTINCTION

45
Q

Possible Unwanted Side Effects of Extinction

A
  1. Extinction Burst
  2. Extinction induced aggression
  3. Client rarely displays the target behavior
  4. Dufficult to know what is reinforcing the client’s behavior
  5. Difficult to control the reinforcer for a challenging behavior
  6. Difficulty/dangerous to ignore challenging behaviors.
  7. Challenging behavior being imitated by others sometimes.
  8. Behavior contrast
  9. Extinction that is NOT used in a treatment package can cause ETHICAL CONCERNS. Always use extinction with reinforcement.
46
Q

3 types of Extinction

HINT: PAN

A
  1. Positive Reinforcement (planned ignoring= procedural extinction for attention maintained behavior)
  2. Automatic reinforcement (sensory extinction)
  3. Negative reinforcement (escape extinction)
47
Q

An immediate increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented.

Hint: The burst is first.

A

Extinction burst

48
Q

Mask or remove the sensory consequence.

A

Sensory extinction

49
Q

A typical pattern in which the behavior that diminished during the extinction process reoccurs.

The behavior reoccurs even though the behavior has not been reinforced.

It is not a indication that extinction procedure is ineffective.

Is usually short-lived and followed by a decrease in behavior.

A

Spontaneous Recovery

50
Q

Individual cannot escape aversive situation

A

Escape Extinction

51
Q
  1. Long history of reinforcement
  2. Intermittwnr schedules of reinforcement are more resistant to extinction than CRF.
  3. High quality reinforcer
  4. Large amount of reinforcer
  5. Response requiring little effort
  6. Numbers of previous extinction trials. This relates to intermittent schedules and these schedules are resistant to extinction.
A

Resistance to Extinction

52
Q

Involves the un-pairing of a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus.

A

Respondent Extinction

53
Q

Involves withholding reinforcement when the behavior occurs.

A

Operant Extinction

54
Q

When the rate/frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a response is altered in the presence of an antecedent stimulus.

A

55
Q

Factors affecting stimulus control:

A
  1. Pre-attending skills

2. Stimulus Salience
