Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) to Reduce Unwanted Behavior.

Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) to Reduce Unwanted Behavior.     

Positive punishment is the act of using harsh stimulus after a behavior has been exhibited (Malott & Shane, 2016). So positive punishment reduces the chances that a behavior will repeat itself. For example, a child hits the other whom they are playing with and is given a time-out from play. A perfect scenario for positive punishment is a learner repetitively interrupts the tutor in class. As a consequence of interrupting the teacher, the tutor assigns detention after school. The child staying behind after school is a negative encounter; therefore, it is less likely for the child to speak out of turn in class again.

In contrast, negative punishment eliminates a stimulus after behavior to reduce the likelihood of the behavior being repeated ((Malott & Shane, 2016). An example is giving a child a prolonged time out from playing because of disrupting the teacher in class. A perfect scenario is a learner persistently chatting in class as the teacher is teaching can have bad consequences because the tutor can deny the learner access to recess on the playground. Due to the bad experience of being barred from playing, the child will most likely not repeat the unwanted behavior.

There are two types of time-out; non-exclusionary and exclusionary time-out. A child might be subjected to an exclusionary time-out if he/she is excluded from the environment contingent upon a behavioral reaction. For instance, the teacher sends a learner who talks out of turn out of class. However, if a learner persistently interrupts the tutor in class, the teacher might utilize exclusionary time-out to get the attention of the other learners. As a reaction cost, the teacher decides to allow the child in class but denies the child recess time due to constant interruptions during learning is an example of a non-exclusionary time-out (Miltenberger, Baruni & Cook, 2022).

The study discusses the impacts of delayed time-out behavior among preschool learners. It then realized that delayed time-out effectively controlled and reduced problematic behaviors among pre-schoolers. Slocum, Vollmer & Donaldson (2019) propose that delayed time-out can be a more effective and positive intervention for problematic behaviors than traditional time-out because it allows learners to cool down and reflect on their behavior. Besides, the article states that delayed time-out is more effective than other punishment-based interventions like physical punishment and verbal reprimands. The authors suggest that future research be conducted on this subject to determine whether the effects of delayed time-out vary based on a child’s age or the severity of the problematic behavior.

Thus far in the course, you have learned a great deal about reinforcement and variables that influence reinforcer effectiveness. In Unit 5, the principles of positive and negative punishment were introduced. You explored how punishment procedures diminish behavior. You learned how punishment strategies derived from the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) can be applied in behavior intervention plans (BIP) to reduce unwanted behavior.

You have finally arrived! You are in your last class of your bachelor’s program, i.e., the Applied Behavior Analysis Capstone! It has been a long journey and you are excited to demonstrate your skills in applied behavior analysis (ABA)!

Your final project in your course is to develop a video! This should be fun! For this week’s Discussion Board primary post, write your script for the video covering the following topics:

Explain positive and negative punishment and provide a scenario illustrating each procedure.
Discuss the two types of timeout procedures and provide an example of each.
Summarize the results of the article “Slocum, S. K., Vollmer, T. R., & Donaldson, J. M. (2019). Effects of delayed time-out on problem behavior of preschool children. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 52(4), 994–1004. https://doi-org.libauth.purdueglobal.edu/10.1002/jaba.640”
What future research could be conducted on this topic?
