contrived reinforcers
as Skinner (1989) pointed out, the powerful reinforcer "does not need to be contrived for
instructional purposes; it is unrelated to any particular kind of behavior and hence
always available
discredited avoidance
responding in the presence of a signal prevents stimulus presentation
free-operant avoidance
Responding at any time prevents stimulus presentation
