Document Summary
Chapter 17: using punishment time-out & response cost. punishment procedure is typically used only after functional non-aversive intervention (ch 13- 16) have been implemented or considered. If punishment is used it is most often a negative reinforcement (removing reinforcement after that behaviour) kenny similar situation to cheryl w/ reinforcing situation being able to watch tv. & play w/ toys & similar solution time-outs in each occasion the child was removed from the reinforcing situation for brief period. Time-out: loss of access to positive reinforcers for a brief period contingent on the problem behaviour& result is the decrease in the probability of the problem behaviour: time-out is short for time-out from positive reinforcement. 2 types: non-exclusionary time-out & exclusionary time-out - both contingent on the occurrence of a problem behaviour. non-exclusionary time-out: the person is removed from all sources of reinforcement. exclusionary time-out person is briefly removed from the reinforcing environment.
