Aba Safmeds Unit 5

Front 1

Conditioned Punisher*

Back 1

A previously NS change that functions a s punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers

Front 2

Contingent Exercise*

Back 2

An intervention in which the person is required to perform a response that is not topographically related to the problem behavior

Front 3

Overcorrection*

Back 3

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

Front 4

Generalized Conditioned Punisher*

Back 4

A stimulus change that as a result of having been paired with many other punishers functions as punishment under most conditions

Front 5

Negative Punishment*

Back 5

A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus, that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions

Front 6

Positive Practice Overcorrection*

Back 6

A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on an occurrence of a target behavior, the learner is required to repeated a correct form of the behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior, a specified number of times

Front 7

Positive Punishment*

Back 7

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

Front 8

Punisher*

Back 8

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

Front 9

Punishment*

Back 9

Occurs when stimulus change immediately follows a response and decreases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions

Front 10

Response Blocking*

Back 10

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

Front 11

Restitutional Overcorrection*

Back 11

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

Front 12

Unconditioned Punisher*

Back 12

A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organisms learning history with the stimulus

Front 13

Behavioral Contrast

Back 13

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 respond rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule

Front 14

Contingent Observation*

Back 14

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

Front 15

Exclusion time out

Back 15

A procedure for implementing timeout in which contingent on the occurrence of a target behavior the person is removed physically from the current environment for a specified period

Front 16

Hallway Time Out*

Back 16

A procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of an inappropriate behavior, the student is removed from the classroom to a hallway location near the room for a specified period of time

Front 17

Nonexclusion Time Out*

Back 17

A procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person remains within the setting but does not have access to reinforcement for a specified period

Front 18

Partition Time Out*

Back 18

An exclusion procedure for implementing time out in which contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person remains within the time in setting but stays behind a wall, shield, or barrier, that restricts the view

Front 19

Planned Ignoring*

Back 19

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

Front 20

Response Cost*

Back 20

The contingent loss of reinforcers (fine) producing a decrease of the frequency of behavior- a form of negative punishment

Front 21

Time Out*

Back 21

The contingent withdrawal of the opportunity to earn positive reinforcement or the loss of access to positive reinforcers for a specified time; a form of negative punishment

Front 22

Time Out Ribbon*

Back 22

A procedure for implementing non exclusion time out in which a child wears a ribbon or wristband that becomes discriminative for receiving reinforcement - contingent on misbehavior, the ribbon is removed and access to social and other reinforcers are unavailable for a specified period

Front 23

Escape Extinction*

Back 23

Behaviors maintained with negative reinforcement are placed on escape extinction when those behaviors are not followed by termination of the aversive stimulus; emitting the target behavior does not enable the person to escape the aversive situation

Front 24

Extinction*

Back 24

The discontinuing of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior- it decreases the frequency of the behavior until it reaches a pre reinforced level or ultimately ceases

Front 25

Extinction Burst*

Back 25

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

Front 26

Sensory Extinction*

Back 26

The process by which behaviors maintained by automatic reinforcement are placed on extinction by masking or removing the sensory consequence

Front 27

Spontaneous Recovery*

Back 27

A behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the behavior suddenly begins to occur after its frequency has decreased to its pre reinforcement level or stopped entirely

Front 28

Resistance to Extinction

Back 28

The relative frequency with which operant behavior is emitted during extinction
