Educational Psychology / Unit 4 EDP 0339 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Negative Consequences and Punishers
Captions available
The idea
Consequences meant to reduce behavior include verbal reprimands, overcorrection, response cost and exclusion, each a punisher only if the behavior actually declines.
In practice
Losing a privilege after each outburst is response cost.
Where people slip
Punishment can eliminate a behavior, but so can positive reinforcement of an alternative, and the course prescribes neither.
