    Study Notes

    Token Economy

    • A token economy is a system where learners earn tokens that can be exchanged for rewards, such as toys.
    • Effective reinforcers are crucial components of a token economy to ensure motivation and engagement.

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    • Rainbow tokens align with the conjugate schedule of reinforcement, linking immediate behavior with rewards.

    Types of Token Economies

    • A magic number token economy means learners are unaware of the tokens needed for exchange until the moment of reward.

    Punishment Concepts

    • The first rule of punishment is that it occurs when a behavior is followed by a stimulus that decreases similar future responses.
    • Positive punishment involves presenting a stimulus, like saying "no," to reduce the likelihood of a behavior.
    • Negative punishment involves removing a stimulus (e.g., a token) to decrease the future probability of a behavior.

    Types of Punishers

    • Unconditioned punishers are naturally aversive stimuli, like a bad odor.
    • Conditioned punishers derive their punishing effect from an individual's past experiences or conditioning history.

    Variables Affecting Punishment

    • The effectiveness of punishers is influenced by immediacy (how quickly the punishment follows a behavior) and the schedule of punishment.

    Side Effects of Punishment

    • Behavioral contrast can be a negative side effect of punishment, whereby behavior changes in contexts outside the punishment scenario.

    Historical Context of Punishment

    • The history of punishment has been likened to a pendulum, illustrating shifts in societal attitudes and practices over time.
    • The initial evaluation of punishment effectiveness was conducted through basic research.

    Aberrant Behavior

    • Aberrant behavior refers to any client behavior that poses a risk of harm to themselves or others.
    • Stereotypic behavior, while often repetitive, can hinder a client's ability to learn effectively.

    Self-Injurious Behavior in ASD

    • Research by Minshawi and colleagues indicates that up to 50% of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may display self-injurious behavior.
