Behavioral Contrast - CORRECT ANSWER-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.
Conditioned punisher - CORRECT ANSWER-A previously neutral stimulus change that functions
as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers; sometimes called
secondary or learned punisher
Generalized conditioned punisher - CORRECT ANSWER-A stimulus change that, as a result of
having been paired with many other punishers, functions as punishment under most conditions
because it is free from the control of motivating conditions for specific types of punishment.
Negative punishment - CORRECT ANSWER-A response bx is followed immediately by the
removal of a stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus), that decreases the future
frequency of similar responses under similar conditions; sometimes called Type II Punishment
Positive practice overcorrection - CORRECT ANSWER-A form of overcorrection in which,
contingent on an occurrence of the target bx, the learner is required to repeated a correct form
of the bx, or a bx incompatible with the problem bx, a specified number of times; entails an
educative component
, Overcorrection - CORRECT ANSWER-A bx change tactic based on positive punishment, in which,
contingent on the problem bx, the learner is required to engage in effortful bx directly or
logically related to fixing the damage caused by the bx. Forms of overcorrection are restitutional
overcorrection and positive practice overcorrection
Positive punishment - CORRECT ANSWER-A bx is followed immediately by the presentation of a
stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the bx; sometimes called Type I punishment
Punisher - CORRECT ANSWER-A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of bx that
immediately precedes it.
Punishment - CORRECT ANSWER-Occurs when stimulus change immediately follows a response
and decreases the future frequency of that type of bx in similar conditions
Response blocking - CORRECT ANSWER-A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes
as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem bx to prevent completion of the targeted bx
Restitutional overcorrection - CORRECT ANSWER-A form of overcorrection in which, contingent
on the problem bx, the learner is required to repair the damage or return the environment to its
original state and then to engage in additional bx to bring the environment to a condition vastly
better than it was in prior to the misbehavior.
true - CORRECT ANSWER-In a positive punishment contingency, the stimulus is absent prior to a
response and is presented as a consequence.
Unconditioned punisher - CORRECT ANSWER-A stimulus change that decreases the frequency
of any bx that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organisms' learning history with the
stimulus. They are products of the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny),
meaning that all members of a species are more or less susceptible to punishment by the
presentation of unconditioned punishers.
