Hello students, in this question we are talking about behavior suppression.
00:07
So the first question is about ways to suppress behavior.
00:12
So the ways are punishment, response time, response time and response cost and timeout from reinforcement.
00:37
Reinforcement and then we see the extinction of that behavior.
00:44
So to suppress hitting a sibling, punishment would be involving aversive consequences such as scolding, spanking and so on.
00:59
Response cost would be taking away a desirable item or privilege such as screen time or a favorite toy.
01:09
Timeout from reinforcement would be removing the individual from a situation or activity that is encouraging or reinforcing the hitting behavior.
01:21
Extinction would involve ignoring the hitting behavior and not providing any attention or reinforcement for it.
01:34
So if it is an action that has no value, it will eventually be avoided.
01:40
So the recommended first level to try to suppress would be extinction.
01:46
When extinction doesn't work, you have to take more steps.
01:55
This is because hitting behavior is often reinforced by attention from the sibling or parent.
02:03
So if the sibling shows no interest or gives any response, the likelihood of that behavior going down is very high.
02:12
Same for parent, if the parent focuses on the child because of this behavior, it might increase that behavior.
02:23
So next would be response cost and timeout...
