chap 18- positive punsihment procedures and ethics of punsihment Flashcards
1
Q
application of aversive activites
A
- a positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the undesirable behaviour, the client is required to engage in an aversive behaviour, the child was made to engage in an aversive activity
- an aversive activity is a low probability behaviour that a person tropically would choose not to engage in.
- engage in the aversive activity immediately contingent on the problem behaviour
2
Q
application of aversive stimulation
A
- involves delivering an aversive stimulus after the problem behaviour
- when the problem behavior results in the delivery of the aversive stimulus, the behaviour is less likely to occur in the future
3
Q
contingent exercise
A
- the client is made to engage in some form of physical exercise contingent on an instance of the problem behaviour
- in contingent exercise, the aversive activity involves physical exercise that is unrelated to the problem behaviour
4
Q
guided compliance
A
- a positive punishment procedure used with a person who displays a noncompliant behaviour
- when you make a request and the person refuses to comply, you physcially prompt the person to engage in the bheaviour
- prevents escape from the requested behaviour
- serves as an extinction procedure when the noncompliant behaviour is negatively reinforced by escape from the requested activity
5
Q
informed consent
A
- the process in which the client is informed of the behaviour modification procedure to be used and agrees in written to undergo the procedure - necessary for the use of positive punishment procedures
6
Q
overcorrection
A
- a positive punsihment procedure in which, contingent on the problem behaviour, a person is required to engage in effortful activity for a brief period
- positive practice and restitution are two types of overcorrection
7
Q
physical restraint
A
- punishment procedure which, contingent on a problem behaviour, the change agent holds inmobile the part of the clients body that is involved in the behaviour
- while being physically restrained, the student cannot engage in the problem behaviour
8
Q
positive practice
A
- client must engage in correct forms of relevant behaviour until it has been repeated a number of times
- ie. after doing math problems rishing and getting them all wrong, you have to do it all over again
9
Q
response blocking
A
- the change agent prevents the occurrence of a problem behaviour by physically blocking the response
- ie. stopping a child from puttting her thumb in her mouth, to prevent thumb- sucking
10
Q
restitution
A
- a procedure in which , contingent on each instance of the problem behaviour, the client must correct the environmental effects of the problem behaviour and restore the environment to a condition better than that which existed before the problem behaviour
- *MAke up for wha t you did, you creat a mess, then you clean it up
11
Q
function of guided compliance
A
- it is positive punishment of the behaviour because the aversive stimulus (physical guidance) is applied after the problem behaviour, and it negatively reinforces compliance with the requested activity because the aversive stimulus is removed after complaince
- involves extinction, positive punishment, and negative reinforcement
- it is positive punishment of the behaviour because the aversive stimulus (physical guidance) is applied after the problem behaviour, and it negatively reinforces compliance with the requested activity because the aversive stimulus is removed after complaince
12
Q
accountability
A
- preventing misuse and overuse
- implementing guidelines
13
Q
time-out from positive reinforcement
A
loss of access to positive reinforcers following an undesirable behaviour
14
Q
non-exclusionary timeout
A
after an undesirable behaviour, person remains in the same room or location (the time-in) but is denied access to reinforcers
15
Q
contingent observation
A
- person is denied access to reinforcers and must observe others engaging in activities
