the termination of an already present stimulus immediately following a behavior that results in a decrease in the future frequnecy of the behavior.
Term
Discriminitive Stimulus for presentation
Definition
AKA SD; stimulus condition in the prescense of which a response has a lower probability of occurence thant it does in its absense as a result of response contingent punishment delivery in the presensce of the stimulus.
Term
Punisher
Definition
stimulus change that immediately follows the occruence of a behavior and resduces the future frequency of that behavior.
Term
