Q

3 considerations for selecting a functional communication topography

A

Audience
Response effort
Behavioral repertoire

22
Q

Punishment is a “default” technology

A

Relied upon by untrained people due to its quick effects of decreasing in behavior

23
Q

The use of punishment may be warranted

A

Topographies of behavior are likely to cause harm to one’s self and/or others

24
Q

5 common ethical concerns of punishment

A 
Data collection (long-term effects)
Appropriate procedure for the function
Legality of procedures
Supportive environment
Review and approval
25
Q

6 positive punishment procedures

A 
Reprimands
Response blocking
Contingent exercise
Overcorrection
Contingent electric stimulation
Presentation of other aversive stimuli
26
Q

Reprimands

A

A statement of social disapproval is delivered following problem behavior

27
Q

Contingent exercise

A

Required to perform a response topographically different from the problem behavior

28
Q

Overcorrection

A

Required to exert effort contingent upon problem behavior

29
Q

2 types of overcorrection

A

Restitutional overcorrection

Positive practice

30
Q

Restitutional overcorrection

A

Required to restore the environment beyond its original state.

31
Q

Positive practice

A

Required to repeatedly “practice” the behavior in the correct way

32
Q

Simple restitution

A

Required to restore the environment back to its original state

33
Q

Contingent electronic stimulation

A

Brief stimulus delivered following problem behavior

34
Q

Presentation of aversive stimuli

A

Aversive stimuli delivered contingent on problem behavior

35
Q

Response blocking

A

Physically intervening to prevent the completion of the response

36
Q

3 negative punishment procedures

A

Time-out
Response cost
Fines/penalties

37
Q

Time-out (from positive reinforcement)

A

Unable to ear positive reinforcement for a specific time period contingent on problem behavior

38
Q

2 main types of time-out

A

Non-exclusionary

Exclusionary

39
Q

Non-exclusionary time out

A

Time-out procedure where the individual remains in the environment

40
Q

Exclusionary time-out

A

Time-out procedure where the individual is removed from the environment

41
Q

4 sub-types of non-exclusionary time-out

A

Planned ignoring
Time-out ribbon
Contingent observation
Withdrawal of a specific reinforcer

42
Q

3 sub-types of exclusionary time-out

A

Partition or barrier
Hallway
Other room

43
Q

Response cost

A

Loss of a specific amount of positive reinforcement contingent on problem behavior

44
Q

5 variables affecting punishment effectiveness

A 
Intensity
Behavior chains
Schedule of delivery
Conflicting rules
Delay of delivery
45
Q

Intensity of punishment

A

Deliver punishment at a high intensity

46
Q

Behavior chains and punishment

A

Deliver punishers at the beginning of a chain

47
Q

Punishment delivery schedule

A

Deliver punishment every time problem behavior occurs

48
Q

Delay of punishment delivery

A

Deliver punishment immediately following an instance of problem behavior

49
Q

Conditioned punisher

A

Present a neutral stimulus along with a punisher following problem behavior

50
Q

5 considerations for punishment procedures

A 
Include procedures to replace behavior
Program for reinforcement
Use minimal intrusiveness
Use based on literature and competencies
Vary punishers when feasible
