Ch. 6 And 18: Punishment

Front 1

punishment

Back 1

a behavior occurs that is followed by a consequence, which results in the behavior being less likely to happen again

Front 2

punisher

Back 2

(aversive stimulus) a consequence that makes a particular behavior less likely to happen

Front 3

positive punishment

Back 3

1)occurrence of behavior

2) followed by the presentation of an aversive stimulus

3) result: behavior is less likely to occur in the future

Front 4

negative punishment

Back 4

1) occurrence of behavior

2) followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus

3) result: behavior is less likely to occur in the future

Front 5

unconditioned punisher

Back 5

aversive stimuli that do not have to be conditioned (are biological stimuli aka pain)

Front 6

conditioned punisher

Back 6

aversive stimuli that are conditioned after being paired with unconditional stimuli.

Front 7

generalized conditioned punisher

Back 7

an aversive stimulus that has been paired with many different unconditioned and conditioned stimuli (such as the word "no")

Front 8

factors that influence punishment effectiveness

Back 8

immediacy; contingency; motivating operations; individual differences and magnitude

Front 9

problems with punishment

Back 9

1) may produce elicited aggression

2) use may result in escape or avoidance behaviors

3) some ethical issues

Front 10

application of aversive activities

Back 10

contingent on the problem behavior, the subject is made to engage in an aversive activity

Front 11

overcorrection

Back 11

procedure developed to decrease aggressive and disruptive behaviors exhibited by people with intellectual disabilities. the client is required to engage in an effortful behavior for an extended period contingent on each instance of the problem behavior (2 kinds: positive practice and restitution)

Front 12

positive practice

Back 12

the client has to engage in correct forms of relevant behavior contingent on an instance of the problem behavior.

Front 13

restitution

Back 13

procedure in which, contingent on each instance of the problem behavior, the client must correct the environmental effects of the problem behavior and restore the environment to a condition better than that which existed before the problem behavior

Front 14

contingent exercise

Back 14

the client is made to engage in some form of physical activity contingent on an instance of the problem behavior.

Front 15

guided compliance

Back 15

(used as a positive punishment) the person is guided physically through the requested activity contingent on the occurrence of the problem behavior.

Front 16

physical constraint

Back 16

punishment procedure in which, contingent on a problem behavior, the change agent holds immobile the part of the clients body that is involved in the behavior.

Front 17

response blocking

Back 17

(variation of physical restraint) the change agent prevents the occurrence of a problem behavior by physically blocking the response.

Front 18

application of aversive stimulation

Back 18

punishment procedures that decrease serious problem behaviors.
