Term
|
Definition
| 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. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more punishers; sometimes called secondary or learned punishers. |
|
|
Term
| Generalized conditioned punisher |
|
Definition
| 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. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus, that decreases the further frequency of similar responses under similar conditions. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavior change tactic based on positive punishment in which, 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. Forms of overcorrection are restitutional overcorrection and positive practice of the correction |
|
|
Term
| Positive practice overcorrection |
|
Definition
| A form of overcorrection in which, contigent on an occurance of the target behavior, the learner is required to repeated a correct form of behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior, a specified number of times; entails and educative component. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior; sometimes called type one punishment. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that immediately proceeds it. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs when stimulus change immediately follows a response and decreases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem behavior to prevent completion of the targeted behavior. |
|
|
Term
| Restitutional overcorrection |
|
Definition
| A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on the problem behavior, 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. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organism's learning history with the stimulus. Unconditioned punishers 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. |
|
|
Term
| Discriminative stimulus for punishment |
|
Definition
| An SDP can be defined as a stimulus condition in the presence of which a response has a lower probability of occurrence that it does in its absence as a result of response-contingent punishment delivery in the presence of the stimulus. |
