39
Q

No clear warning stimulus, but a response can still delay or prevent the occurrence of the aversive event

A

Unsignaled Avoidance.

40
Q

Q

Helps individual achieve outcomes, behavior
deficit makes the person too dependent on
others, behavior is harmful, dangerous or illegal,
behavior is controlled by meds or restraints,
behavior excludes individual from social
situations, behavior interferes with independent
functioning.
