| Free operant avoidance (ch 12) | Avoidance contingency in which engage in behavior to avoid presentation of currently absent aversive stimulus |
| Unconditioned negative reinforcer (ch 12) | Influence people's behavior because we have inherited capacity to respond to them, we do not have to learn to avoid them. Aversive because they produce pain/discomfort |
| Error correction procedures (ch 12) | May produce learning in part due to avoidance contingency |
| Ethical concerns about punishment stem from (ch 12) | Requires presentation of aversive stimuli as an antecedent (EO) to a target behavior, can generate undesired behaviors |
