behavioral contrast - ✔✔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;
behavior punished in one situation may increase in other situations where
it's not punished.
conditioned punisher - ✔✔a stimulus change that functions as
punishment as a result of a person's conditioning history.
discriminative stimulus for punishment - ✔✔a stimulus condition in the
presence of which a response has lower probability of occurrence than it
does in its absence as a result of response-contingent punishment delivery
in the presence of the stimulus.
,generalized conditioned punisher - ✔✔a stimulus change that has been
paired with numerous forms of unconditioned and conditioned punishers.
negative punishment - ✔✔involves the termination of an already present
stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of an already present stimulus)
immediately following a behavior that results in a decrease in the future
frequency of the behavior.
overcorrection - ✔✔a behavior reduction tactic in which, contingent on
each occurrence of the problem behavior, the learner is required to engage
in effortful behavior that is directly or logically related to the problem.
positive practice overcorrection - ✔✔contingent on an occurrence of the
problem behavior the learner is required to repeatedly perform a correct
form of the behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem, a
specified number of times.
positive punishment - ✔✔occurs when the presentation of a stimulus (or
an increase in the intensity of an already present stimulus) immediately
following a behavior results in a decrease in the frequency of the behavior.
punisher - ✔✔a stimulus change that immediately follows the occurrence
of a behavior and reduces the future frequency of that type of behavior.
, punishment - ✔✔has occurred when a response is followed immediately
by a stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of similar
responses;
a two-term, behavior-consequence functional relation defined by its effects
on the future frequency of behavior.
response blocking - ✔✔physically intervening as soon as the person
begins to emit the problem behavior to prevent or "block" the completion of
the response.
restitutional overcorrection - ✔✔contingent on the problem behavior, the
learner is required to repair the damage caused by the problem behavior by
returning the environment to its original state and then to engage in
additional behavior that brings the environment to a condition vastly better
than it was prior to the misbehavior.
unconditioned punisher - ✔✔a stimulus whose presentation functions as
punishment without having been paired with any other punishers; product
of the evolutionary history of a species (phylogeny).
respondent aggression - ✔✔a response to pain or other aversive
unconditioned positive punishment stimuli.
