PSYC 154 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Resistance 3, Reinforcement
Document Summary
Positive should be last resort, but is often thought of first when angry/emotional. Currently it is the least used behavior modification procedure. Gave abab designs and behavior modification a bad reputation. We are trying to escape the legacy of punishment. Punishment is not what behavior modification is about. Functional approaches to assessment and intervention have replaced reliance on. Other procedures are ore ethical, but they also take more time/effort. Overcorrection- the individual has to engage in effortful behavior contingent on problem behavior (punishment is related/undoes what problem behavior did) Restitution- individual is required to fix environment disrupted by problem punishment behavior. Positive practice- individual has to engage in correct forms of relevant behavior for a period of time. Contingent exercise- contingent on the problem behavior, the individual engages in some effortful behavior for a specified period of time. *effortful behavior is unrelated to problem behavior (unlike overcorrection)
