punishment can be positive or negative. 

positive punishment involves the introduction of an aversive action or setting following the occurrence of target behaviour. 

negative punishment involves the removal of a preferred item following the occurrence of target behaviour. 

The target behaviour specified to this scenario is the occurrence of online bullying through the social media platform Snapchat. Through functional assessment, both direct observations and indirect interviews, this behaviour occurs in the evening time at home. 

the negative punishment suggested involves the removal of access to the internet via house setting wifi controls and mobile phones being confiscated.

It also refers to the stability of the behaviour across different settings and environments (Matson, 2009 p.202).

When planning for generalisation it is important to vary the stimuli used, the settings in which it is taught and the person teaching the skill (Cooper, 2014). For example to teach a student to tact an apple you would need to vary the stimuli used (pictures of apples, different sizes and colours of apples, toy apples). You would also need to teach the skill across a variety of settings which could be done through Natural Environment teaching. An example of generalising across settings is shown in Van de pol et al (1981) in which students learning skills relevant to eating in a restaurant visited a restaurant once each skill was mastered. Furthermore you would need to vary the person teaching the skill.

Positive reinforcement can be both primary/secondary and can be defined as adding a stimulus immediately after behavior has occurred, resulting in the likelihood of the behavior increasing in the future (Cooper et al., 2007). 

The target behavior to be established is “walk with me”, the student will walk at arm’s length from the tutor, from the bedroom to the front door. As the student goes through each of the three rooms, he will receive a token (3 tokens in total). Tokens will be contingent on target behavior to shape the behavior. At the end of the walk, the student will receive a preferred item. 

Social reinforcement (praise) will be given throughout the walk to encourage target behavior.]]> 2018-10-24 12:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/c_storey/EDU7226activity1/wish/296385586
