Punishment

Question 1

The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule.

Answer 1

Behavioral contrast

Question 2

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

Answer 2

Conditioned punisher

Question 3

A stimulus (SDp) in the presence of which behavior has been punished and in the absence of which that behavior has not been punished; bx now occurs less in the presence of the SDp

Answer 3

Discriminative stimulus for punishment

Question 4

A positive punishment tactic in which, contingent on a behavior the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior directly or logically related to fixing the damage caused by the problem behavior.

Answer 4

Overcorrection

Question 5

A response behavior followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or decrease in intensity of the stimulus) that results in similar responses occurring less often.

Answer 5

Negative punishment

Question 6

A stimulus change that has been paired with numerous forms of conditioned and unconditioned punishers. E.g., reprimands

Answer 6

Generalized conditioned punisher

Question 7

A stimulus change that decreases the future occurrence of behavior that immediately precedes it.

Answer 7

Punisher

Question 8

A response followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases future frequency of the behavior.

Answer 8

Positive punishment

Question 9

A form or overcorrection in which contingent on the occurrence of the behavior the learner is required to repeat a correct form of the behavior a specific number of times.

Answer 9

Positive practice

Question 10

A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem behavior to prevent completion of that

Answer 10

Response blockingresponse.

Question 11

A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on a behavior, the learner is required to repair damage or return the environment to its original state and then to engage in additional behaviors to bring the environment to a condition vastly better than it was prior to the behavior occurring.

Answer 11

Recovery from punishment

Question 12

A procedural variation of response blocking that involves interrupting stereotypic behavior at its onset and redirecting the individual to complete high probability behaviors instead.

Answer 12

Punishment

Question 13

A procedure for implementing response cost in which the person is provided a reservoir of reinforcers that are removed in predetermined amounts contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior.

Answer 13

Bonus response cost

Question 14

A procedure for time out in which the person is repositioned within an existing setting such that observation of ongoing activities remains, but access to R+ is lost.

Answer 14

Contingent observation

Question 15

A procedure for time out in which the person is removed physically from the current environment for a specified period.

Answer 15

Exclusion time out

Question 16

A procedure for time out in which the person remains within the setting but does not have access to reinforcement for a specific period.

Answer 16

Non-exclusion time out

Question 17

A variation of time out in which the participant remains in the time in setting, but his view of the setting is restricted by a panel or cubicle or a select space is arranged to serve as time out area.

Answer 17

Partition or select space time out

Question 18

A procedure for time out in which social reinforcers are withheld for a brief period contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior

Answer 18

Planned ignoring

Question 19

The response contingent loss of a specific number of positive reinforcers that decreases the frequency of similar responses in the future

Answer 19

Response Cost

Question 20

A variation on non-exclusion time out whereby each occurrence of the target behavior immediately stops an activity or sensory reinforcer.

Answer 20

Terminate specific reinforcer contact

Question 21

The immediate response-contingent withdrawal of an opportunity to earn positive reinforcement or the immediate loss of access to reinforcers for a period of time.

Answer 21

Time out (from positive reinforcement)
