ABA 622 MIDTERM COMPREHENSIVE COURSE
REVIEW
◉ Unconditioned punisher.
Answer: A stimulus that is punishing without any prior learning
(phylogenic)
◉ Conditioned punisher.
Answer: A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a
punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers
◉ Generalized conditioned punisher.
Answer: A stimulus change that has been paired with numerous
forms of unconditioned and conditioned punishers, free from the
control of motivating operations
◉ Reprimands.
Answer: Criticisms for misbehavior; rebukes
◉ Response blocking.
Answer: The source of reinforcement is blocked; practitioner
physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a
problem behavior to prevent the completion of the target behavior
,◉ Contingent exercise.
Answer: Perform a response that is not topographically related to
the problem behavior
(i.e. touch toes 20 times contingent on biting self)
◉ Overcorrection.
Answer: 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
◉ Restitutional overcorrection.
Answer: 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 vastly better than
it was in prior to the misbehavior
◉ Positive practice overcorrection.
Answer: The learner is required to repeat a correct form of the
behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior, a
specified number of times; entails an educative component.
◉ Contingent electric stimulation.
, Answer: Presentation of a brief electrical stimulus immediately
following an occurrence of the problem behavior
◉ Time-out.
Answer: A learner is removed from the situation that provides
reinforcement for undesirable behavior
◉ Non-exclusion time-out.
Answer: 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
◉ Withdrawal of a specific positive reinforcer.
Answer: A positive reinforcer is removed for a brief period of time
contingent upon a target behavior; sometimes used as group
contingency
◉ Contingent observation.
Answer: A procedure for implementing time-out in which the person
is repositioned in an existing setting; observation of ongoing
activities remains, but access to reinforcement is lost.
◉ Time-out ribbon.
