Document Summary
Chapter 17 using punishment: time out & response cost. If a punishment procedure is used, it is often a negative punishment procedure involved removal of reinforcing events after a problem: two common negative punishment procedures include: time out & response cost. time-out decreases the rate of the problem behaviour. differential reinforcement increases an alternative behaviour to replace the problem (dra), or provides the reinforcer for the absence of the problem behaviour (dro), while applying extinction for the problem behaviour. If you use time-out without a differential procedure, the following can occur: net loss in reinforcement, problem behaviour is more likely to re-emerge after treatment. ex if a student is ordered to leave the classroom, they no longer have to do their work. after the child sat there for about a minute with no toys, activities, or interactions, the caregiver allowed the child to return to the play area.
