| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| bonus response cost | A procedure for implementing response cost in which the person is provided a reservoir of reinforcers that are removed in predetermined amounts contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior. |
| contingent observation | A procedure for implementing time-out in which the person is repositioned within an existing setting such that observation of ongoing activities remains, but access to reinforcement is lost. |
| exclusion time-out | A procedure for implementing time-out in which, contingent on the occurrence of a target behavior, the person is removed physically from the current environment for a specified period. |
| negative punishment | A response behavior followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus) that results in similar responses occurring less often. |
| nonexclusion time-out | A procedure for implementing time-out in which, contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person remains within the setting, but does not have access to reinforcement, for a specified period. |
| partition or select space time-out | A variation of time-out from SR+: contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the participant remains in the time-in setting, but his view of the setting is restricted, or a select space is arranged to serve as the time-out area. |
| planned ignoring | A procedure for implementing time-out in which social reinforcers—usually attention, physical contact, and verbal interaction—are withheld for a brief period contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior. |
| response cost | The response-contingent loss of a specific number of positive reinforcers (e.g., a fine) that decreases the frequency of similar responses in the future. |
| terminate specific reinforcer contact | A variation of nonexclusion time-out whereby each occurrence of the target behavior immediately stops an activity or sensory reinforcer. |
| time-out from positive reinforcement (time-out) | The immediate response-contingent withdrawal of the opportunity to earn positive reinforcement or the immediate loss of access to positive reinforcers for a specified time; a form of negative punishment. |
