GRADED A+
◍ -like emotional and aggressive reactions escape and avoidance can be
minimized or prevented by:.
Answer: - providing alternative responses to the problem behavior that both
avoid the delivery of punishment and provide reinforcement
◍ Using timeout effectively.
Answer: -should not be the method of first choice-initially consider non
punitive methods for reducing the target behavior-should be considered only
when the evidence shows that less intrusive procedures have failed
◍ positive punishment interventions: Response blocking.
Answer: -Physically intervening as soon as the person begins to admit the
problem behavior- effective in reducing the frequency of problem behaviors
such as chronic hand mouthing eye poking and pika-Often implemented as a
treatment for self injurious behavior or self stimulatory behavior- providing
prompts and reinforcement for an alternative response can minimize side
effects such as resistance and aggression
◍ Discriminative stimulus; s-delta S-delta;.
Answer: When approaching an intersection with a stop light while driving a
car, the presence of a greenlight acts as a __________ for pushing the
accelerator and as a __________ for pushing thebrake.
◍ Functionally.
Answer: the timeout involves reduced future occurrences of similar
behaviors
◍ ethical considerations regarding the use of punishment: (Least restrictive
, alternative).
Answer: -Less intrusive procedures should be tried and found to be
ineffective before more intrusive procedures are
implemented-restrictiveness depends on the procedural details and the rest
of the level of the person whom it applied -Gast and Worley 1987 suggested
that if a choice must be made between a less intrusive but effective
procedure and a more intrusive but effective procedure that the latter should
be chosen
◍ desirable aspects of response cost: (convenience).
Answer: convenient to implement and can be used in a variety of school
home and center based settings
◍ Do not teach or correct behavior.
Answer: Contingencies of punishment:
◍ That they are ineffective and should be discontinued.
Answer: Punishers that have to be used repeatedly indicate:
◍ SD.
Answer: In operant conditioning, the antecedent stimulus paired with
reinforcement is called a/an__________.
◍ - behavioral contrast can be minimized or prevented altogether by:.
Answer: -Consistently punishing occurrences of the target behavior in all
relevant settings and stimulus conditions-withholding or at least minimizing
the person's access to reinforcement for the target behavior-providing
alternative desirable behaviors.
◍ ethical considerations regarding the use of punishment :Least restrictive
alternative.
