gain.

what is an example of negative punisher

paying a speeding ticket

extinction burst

Type 1 punishment involves:

The quote "All behavior has a communicative intent" (Carr, 1977) can be best explained by the statement:

Behavior always serves a purpose for the person engaging in the behavior.

Differential reinforcement works by:

when an individual engages in a bx because it feels good or alleviates pain has a ____ _____ function.

behaviors maintained by automatic reinforcement can be addressed by extinction by ____ the opportunity for the person to engage in the bx

blocking

Problem bx is problematic only under certain _____
