Behavior Management: Behavior Reduction and Functional Behavior Assessments - Behavior Reduction: Consequence Modifications
15 important questions on Behavior Management: Behavior Reduction and Functional Behavior Assessments - Behavior Reduction: Consequence Modifications
What are Consequence Modifications?
- Behavior is reduced by changing the outcome that occurs following that behavior
- Behaviors that do not produce a desired outcome will decrease
What are 2 primary ways that consequence manipulations work?
2) Provide a non-preferred consequence when the problem behavior occurs
What is escape extinction?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is tangible extinction?
What is escape extinction or planned ignoring?
What is sensory extinction?
Name 5 considerations for extinction procedures.
2) Can be difficult to implement in certain (naturalistic) situations
3) Extinction results in a gradual decrease of behavior, rather than an immediate or rapid increase
4) May result in spontaneous recovery (recurrence of the behavior in previously reinforced situations)
5) May result in an extinction burst (a temporary but immediate increase in the behavior, often occurs immediately after implementation of the extinction procedure, along with changing/different behaviors because the person is trying to figure out another way of accessing what they want)
What is response blocking?
- It is often used when behavior is physically harmful to oneself or others but may be used for other behaviors
- Often used for sensory maintained behaviors
- Response blocking should ALWAYS involve the least amount of physical contact necessary to block the behavior
What is response interruption/redirection (RIRD)?
- Often used to reduce stereotype
What is exclusionary time out?
What are the rules for time out?
- a positively reinforcing activity is in place (the loss of something desirable becomes an effective consequence for that behavior)
- time out itself must not be reinforcing to the individual (must not provide access to other reinforcers)
- must have only a short duration (between 30 seconds to 10 minutes)
- release from time out must be dependent on appropriate behavior
What is response cost?
- Response cost reduces behavior by resulting in the loss of reinforcement when the behavior occurs.
What are the 2 types of overcorrection procedures?
2) Positive practice overcorrection
What is restitutional overcorrection?
What is positive practice overcorrection?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
