a basic behavioral process in which the consequences of a
behavior make the behavior less likely in the future Correct
Answer punishment
a conditioned punisher that has been paired with a variety of
other punishers and consequently its punishing effectiveness
does not depend on any particular establishing operation
Correct Answer generalized conditioned punisher
A contingency in which a response prevents or delays the
presentation of a stimulus Correct Answer avoidance
contingency
A contingency in which a response terminates a currently
present stimulus Correct Answer escape contingency
A contingency in which responding in the presence of a signal
prevents the presentation of an aversive stimulus Correct
Answer discriminated avoidance
A contingency in which responses during an interval prior to the
delivery of a scheduled aversive stimulus delays the presentation
of the scheduled aversive stimulus Correct Answer free-
operant avoidance
A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on the problem
behavior, the individual must repair the damage done by the
behavior and then, additionally, to vastly improve the
,environmental condition compared to what is was before the
problem behavior Correct Answer restitutional overcorrection
A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on the target
behavior, the learner must repeat, a specified number of times,
the correct form of the behavior or a behavior incompatible with
the problem behavior Correct Answer positive practice
overcorrection
A full description of a negative reinforcement contingency
includes: Correct Answer -the SD
-the EO
-the response
-contingent stimulus change
a negative reinforcer whose effectiveness is due to pairing with
another negative reinforcer Correct Answer conditioned
negative reinforcer
A nonexclusion time-out tactic in which, contingent on the
target behavior, access to social reinforcers are removed for a
brief period Correct Answer planned ignoring
A nonexclusion time-out tactic in which, contingent on the
target behavior, the individual is repositioned in the current
setting and can observe ongoing activities, but access to
reinforcement is made unavailable Correct Answer contingent
observation
A period of time in which there is an absence of responding after
reinforcement and is characteristic of fixed-ratio and fixed-
, interval schedules of reinforcement Correct Answer post-
reinforcement pause
A person has a headache, takes some pain reliever, and the
headache goes away. That person is more likely to take pain
reliever when they have a headache in the future. In this
example, removal of the headache is functioning as a(n):
Correct Answer unconditioned negative reinforcer
A problem faced by a behavior analyst in attempting to adhere
to the least restrictive alternative model when using a
punishment procedure is: Correct Answer -beginning with a
mildly aversive consequence that does not work may dilute the
effectiveness of the next consequence used
-the effectiveness of punishers is determined in part by their
magnitude
-a procedure determined to be mildly aversive by research might
be more restrictive for a given individual
-it may be more appropriate to use a more intensive consequence
for a shorter period than a milder consequence for a longer
period of time
A procedure in which, contingent on the target behavior,
opportunities for positive reinforcement are withdrawn or access
to positive reinforcers is removed for a specified time Correct
Answer time-out from positive reinforcement
a punisher whose effectiveness is due to pairing with another
punisher Correct Answer conditioned punisher
