After reading about all of the different strategies for reducing negative behaviors (including the punishment procedures), Discussion will be devoted to the following questions: 1. Should punishment procedures be used in principle, apart from their effects? 2. Should they be used because of their effects on behavior? Why? Why not? (Effects include both positive and negative effects.) 3. Are punishment procedures necessary to use? Given alternate procedures? 4. If punishment is to be used, at what point, when, and with what other procedures? Defend your response.

Create a hypothetical contingency contract (see Schunk, p. 113) utilizing behaviorist principles. You can draw from the experiences of a current or former student in your classroom or create a fictitious student profile if you are not currently teaching. Begin the contract by explaining the concerns you have been experiencing with the student. Include as many concerns as necessary to fulfill the post. As you construct the specifics of your contract, be sure to include (in any order) the following components: 1. One example of operant conditioning (Schunk, pp. 90-95). Your one example may demonstrate operant conditioning used as reinforcement or punishment (positive or negative). If you need a quick review of the features of operant conditioning, please access this video: [insert link to video]. 2. One example of a scheduled reinforcer (Schunk, pp. 95-96). What consequence will be applied at what frequency or time or behavior (fixed/variable/ratio/interval)? If you need a quick review of the schedules of reinforcement, please access this video: [insert link to video]. 3. An example of a habit that needs to be corrected (draw from Guthrie's model Schunk, pp. 86-88).
