VERIFIED STUDY GUIDE
Behavioral Contrast - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of bx that
immediately precedes it.
Punishment - Answers - Occurs when stimulus change immediately follows a response
and decreases the future frequency of that type of bx in similar conditions
, Response blocking - Answers - 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 - Answers - 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 - Answers - In a positive punishment contingency, the stimulus is absent prior to a
response and is presented as a consequence.
Unconditioned punisher - Answers - 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.
true - Answers - In a negative reinforcement contingency, the stimulus is present prior to
a response and is removed as a consequence.
Discriminated operant for punishment - Answers - The product of a conditioning history
in which responses in the presence of a certain stimulus have been punished and
similar reponses in the absence of that stimulus have not been punished
Highway speeding - Answers - An example of a discriminated operant for punishment
Recovery from punishment - Answers - When punishment is discontinued, its
suppressive effects on responding are usually not permanent, a phenomenon that Is
often called this.
Unconditioned punisher - Answers - Painful stimulation, certain odors and tastes,
physical restraint, loss of bodily support, and extreme muscular effort are all examples
of this: ______
false - Answers - A punisher for one person may NOT be a reinforcer for another person
Immediacy
Intensity
Schedule - Answers - Factors that influence the effectiveness of punishment
Undesirable modeling
Behavioral contrast
Emotional reactions
Escape
Negative reinforcement - Answers - Possible Side effects of Punishment
