Document Summary
Definition: temporary loss of access to reinforcement (sr+) contingent on the occurrence of r, which produces a decrease in the frequency of r. Effects of to: similar to punishment- rapid response suppression. To the behavior will not decrease, it may increase. If the environment contains aversive stimulus, like work. Individual remains in time- in environment: ex. Planned ignoring, contingent observation, timeout ribbon, movement suppression: loss of access to reinforcement but remains in same environment. Individual removed from time in environment: ex. Individual restricted to specific to location: ex. Qualitative difference between time-in and time-out environments. Duration: current emphasis on brief to (2-5 min), Schedule: intermittent to perhaps effective after fr-1 to: must be followed my continuous to. Changeover delay: r near end of to delays termination: lengthening of to if problem behavior occurs at the end of the to interval. Feasibility/safety: severity of r, ability of agent, environmental factors, etc. To should be used in conjunction with dra, dro, etc.
