This is a clip from the TV series, American Dad. After watching the clip we see that Stan initally plans on scaring his wife francine so he hides under the kitchen sink, not knowing that she already knows his plan because has been trying to get him to stop pranking her for awhile now. then suddenly francine ends up scaring stan and then he stops scaring her. The target behavior is stan continuously scaring francine. Francine hopes to reinforce a new behavior in him that involves him NOT scaring her constantly. The consequence of the behavior is that francine will keep scaring stan but if he doesnt continue to scare her then she will not scare him anymore and he will not feel like a "baby". The consequence involves adding something, she elicits fear in stan. Francine responds to stan with this consequence and the antecedent is Francine being tired of stan always scaring her.
A= Francine grows tired of Stan scaring her
B= Stan continues to scare her after she asks him to stop
C= Francine gets her revenge
This is an example of Negative punishment because he is losing the fun he was having when scaring francine
Terms: elicit, antecedent, reinforce,target behavior,respond.

The clip presented is Peter getting milked by a woman. She asks him to moo, and he does just that.

The behavior that reinforces the target behavior is quite simple. The lady asks Peter to moo and he does it. She asked him to elicit a moo louder and louder, and Peter does what she says. By Peter emitting the behavior she asks it reinforces to the woman that if she asks Peter to moo even louder he will do that. When Peter emited the behavior, every time she asked it, it reinforced to the lady that he would emit any response she asked of him.

The consequences of the behavior is she continues to ask Peter to moo louder and louder. The woman gets a thrill from this because one can see a slight smile on her face. Peter does what she says and cries as he does it.

The consequence of the behavior will increase the frequency of the behavior because the woman gets the response she wants from Peter every time she asks. She asks Peter to elicit a mooing sound and he does just that. Every time she asks him to do it louder, he emits the mooing sound even louder. She enjoys having Peter do whatever she asks of him.

The consequences of the behavior involves the addition of something. It involves Peter having to moo louder and louder whenever the woman asks as she milks him.

The antecedent in this clip is the woman being at a conference Louis is speaking at.

A= The woman is at the conference Lois is speaking at
B= Peter is told to moo
C= the woman asks Peter to moo louder and louder

This is positive reinforcement.

The behavior that I am using is when Lois sticks up for Peter. Lois sticks up for Peter because a woman gets on stage and tries to start talking bad about him, and she doesn't like that.

The consequence of Lois doing this is not good. The woman gets mad and sees that Lois won't fight the woman herself so she makes Peter get on his hands and knees and she proceeds to emit a milking behavior.

The consequence will decrease the likelihood that Lois will stick up for Peter again, because she doesn't want Peter to get milked again.

The consequence involves the addition of a couple things. Peter is milked, and also Peter starts to cry. This are the too consequences to him getting milked.

The antecedent of this clip is Lois speaking at a conference.

A= Lois is speaking at a conference
B= Lois sticks up for Peter
C= Peter gets milked and cries

This is an example of positive punishment.

4.It involves the removal of class time.
5.The antecedent is in a classroom

A= In a classroom
B= Packing bags before class is over
C= Teacher ends class early

Punishment:

1.The target behavior is a student answering a cell phone during class
2.The consequence is getting a dirty look from the teacher
3.Getting a dirty look from the teacher will decrease the likelihood of a student answering their phone during class.
4.It involves the addition of a dirty look from the teacher

This is a Family Guy clip where Peter, Stewie, Brian, and Chris all drink some sort of medicine that makes you puke and however goes the longest without puking gets the last piece of pie.

Reinforcement
1. The target behavior here is going the longest without puking.
2. The consequence of this behavior will be receiving the last piece of pie.
3. Receiving the pie will increase the frequency of the target behavior by the individual enjoying the pie and thinking they will win again if they repeat the contest.
4. This consequence involves the addition of something, in this case a piece of pie.
5. The antecedent here is a family competition.
A= A family competition
B= Go the longest without puking
C= Get the last piece of pie
This is an example of positive reinforcement.

Punishment
1. The target behavior here is drinking the medicine that makes you puke.
2. The consequence of this behavior is having extreme projectile puking.
3. The consequence will decrease the behavior because after having this painful puking experience they will no longer want to drink that medicine again.
4. This consequence involves the addition of a painful puking experience.
5. The antecedent here is a family competition.
A= A family competition
B= Drinking a puke inducing medicine
C= Having painful projectile vomiting
This is an example of positive punishment.

This clip is from American Dad and involves Steve and a "psycho" cat that has been on the show previously.
Reinforcement:
1.In the beginning of this clip Steve is emitting a target behavior of playing the cello.
2.The consequence of Steve emitting this behavior is the audience applauding and standing. Steve receives a standing ovation.
3.This consequence will increase the occurrence of the target behavior because a standing ovation is non-aversive.
4.In this instance the applause is being added.
5.The Antecedent is an auditorium at a cello concert.
A=Cello Concert (Auditorium)
B=Playing the Cello
C=Standing Ovation from the audience
This clip is an example of positive reinforcement.

Punishment
At about 1:10 Steve is holding onto Simon (the cat) when Simon suddenly attacks Steve and the rest of the clip is of the two of them fighting.
1.The target behavior here is Steve holding Simon in his arms close.
2.The consequence of Steve emitting this behavior is that Simon attacks Steve and the two of them fight.
3.This consequence will decrease the occurrence of Steve holding Simon because it was an aversive experience and Steve was hurt in the process.
4.The consequence involves the addition of being attacked as well as cuts from Simon's claws.
5.The antecedent is the auditorium where Steve's cello concert was.
A=Cello Concert (auditorium)
B=Holding Simon in his arms
C=Simon attacking(scratching) Steve and the two of them fight
This clip is an example of positive punishment.

Terms:consequence, positive punishment, antecedent, emitting, target behavior, positive reinforcement.

This video clip is a scene from the movie Home Alone 2. In this scene, Kevin is emitting a behavior of electrocuting Marv, one of the robbers that is after him, in order to deter him from burglarizing stores within New York City as well as kidnapping Kevin himself.

Reinforcement:
1)The target behavior that is eliciting a reinforcement response is Kevin electrocuting Marv.

2)The consequences of this emitted behavior is seen through the establishing operation of the sink being connected to the electrocution machine. Kevin is reinforced through Marv’s electrocution due to the fact that Marv’s electrocution prevents him from advancing further in his robbery plans as well as coming down on Kevin.

3)The reinforcement from Kevin stalling Marv with the electrocution increases the likelihood that Kevin will try more tactics such as this to help deter the robbers and to secure his safety.

4)The consequence involves the removal of Marv from the picture for a short amount of time. The electrocution of Marv disables him for a while and allows Kevin to gain clearance from the robbers.

5)The antecedent to this behavior is Marv and Harry going after Kevin to kidnap him in order to complete their plan of robbery.

A = Marv and Harry going after Kevin to kidnap him.

B = Kevin electrocuting Marv.

C = Marv is electrocuted and no longer in a capable condition to kidnap Kevin.

This is an example of negative reinforcement, because as a consequence of Kevin electrocuting Marv, an aversive situation such as Kevin being kidnapped is avoided.

Punishment:

1)The target behavior that illustrates the punished behavior is Marv emitting the behavior of turning the handles on the sink.

2)The consequence of Marv turning the handles on the sink is Marv getting electrocuted.

3)The consequence of Marv being electrocuted will decrease the likelihood of Marv wanting to turn the handles on a sink in the future in fear of getting electrocuted.

4)The consequence involves the removal of Marv’s ability to clean himself up with the water, as well as, complete his task of kidnapping Kevin.

5)The antecedent to Marv’s emitted behavior of turning on the sink is Marv getting covered in paint and wanting to clean himself up.

A = Marv being covered in paint.

B = Marv turning the handles on the sink.

C = Marv getting electrocuted.

This is an example of negative punishment, because this involves taking away the desirable water from Marv and presenting him with an aversive consequence such as electrocution to reduce his chances of kidnapping Kevin.

This clip is of Jim and Dwight from the show The Office. They are going on a sales call together and are walking into the building. Jim offers to hold the door for Dwight who refuses to walk through it. Dwight presents Jim with a short speech on preparedness, to which Jim refutes with an unprofessional slap across the face.

1.) The target behavior is for Dwight to continue through the doorway to the sales call.
2.) Jim holds the door open for Dwight to walk through.
3.) Dwight will not have to stop to open the door.
4.) Jim emitted the behavior of removing an obstacle from Dwight’s path.
5.) The antecedent is that Dwight will walk into the building unobstructed.

A= Jim and Dwight reach a door.
B= Jim holds it open for Dwight.
C= Dwight refuses to walk through.

It is negative reinforcement.

1.) The target behavior is to get Dwight to stop talking and go into the building.
2.) Jim emitted a behavior of slapping Dwight across the face to get him to be quiet.
3.) Dwight will view being slapped in the face as an aversive outcome so he will not lecture Jim.
4.) The addition of physical punishment.
5.) The antecedent is that Dwight will walk through the door ext time.

A= Dwight will not walk through the door.
B= Jim slaps him across the face.
C= Dwight will walk through the door without problem from now on.

It is positive punishment.

Well since I have about the attention span of a three year old this video is perfect! It's technically a music video elicited for little children, but I find it hilarious and entertaining and both punishment and reinforcement are shown. 1.) This target behavior for punishment is about 26 seconds into the video when gummy bear emitted to stomp his gummy foot on the microphone. 2.) The consequence of this behavior is that when he manipulates the microphone, he gets bonked in the head with the microphone. 3.) The consequence will decrease the behavior because getting bonked in the head is aversive, and this video is extremely repetitive, but they only show that clip once more in the video, so obviously gummy bear learned his lesson. 4.)The consequence involves the addition of being hit on the head. 5.)The antecedent is being a sugary singing gummy bear pop star.

ABC's of Behavior

A= Being a sugary singing gummy bear pop star
B= Stomping foot on microphone
C= Getting bonked in the head with the microphone

This would be an example of positive punishment because the aversive consequence of being bonked in the head is added.

1.) The target behavior on the positive side would be the gummy bear bouncing the gangster car which first happens right after he gets bonked in the head. 2.) The consequence of this behavior is the gummy bear looks extremely cool. 3.) This would increase the frequency of this clip being shown because looking cool is a pleasurable thing. 4.) The consequence involves the addition of looking cool, so it would be positive reinforcement, they show gummy bear in the car at least 4 different times throughout the video. 5.) The antecedent is being a sugary pop star gummy bear who makes music videos.

The ABC's of behavior

A= Being a sugary pop star gummy bear who makes music videos
B= Bouncing a gangster car
C= Looking cool

This would be positive reinforcement because he has the addition of looking cool when he bounces his gangster car.

I would like you to briefly describe/summarize the clip. Next: 1) Tell us what behavior (target behavior) you are using that illustrates the reinforced behavior (be careful as there are often many behaviors in a video and you need to isolate the behavior of interest). MAKE SURE IT IS A BEHAVIOR AND NOT A BEHAVIORAL CLASS. 2) Next tell us what the consequence of the behavior is. 3) Then tell us how, that consequence will increase the frequency of the behavior. 4) Tell us if the consequence involves the addition of something or if it involves the removal of something. 5) Finally tell us to the antecedent is.

Please then list the ABC's of the behavior

A=
B=
C=

Now state if this is an example of positive reinforcement, or negative reinforcement.

Do the same for the second part of the clip

Copy and paste the URL at the bottom so we can go and see the video you used.

Once you are done with your post make list of the terms and terminology you used in your post. We will be looking for terminology that has been introduced in the class so far. Your post will be worth more with more terminology used.

This is only a 7 second clip and it takes the characters from WALL-E and shows wall-e and eve emitting the behavior of playing baseball.
1)The target behavior for punishment in this video is when the ball is manipulated towards wall-e very fast
2)The consequence of this behavior is that wall-e hides his head and squeaks
3)This consequence should decrease the behavior of the ball throwing because it elicited an aversive reaction from wall-e
4)This consequence involves the addition of the behavior of throwing the ball.
5)The antecedent is playing baseball

A=playing baseball
B=throwing the ball
C=wall-e's aversive response

This part of the clip is the example of positive punishment because they are adding the throwing of the ball as a punishment for wall-e.

1) our target behavior for reinforcement in this video is when walle ducks his head inside himself.
2)The consequence of this behavior is that it elicits eve to laugh and smile
3) This consequence should increase the frequency of wall-e to emit this behavior because it is a pleasurable one for eve.
4)The consequence involves the addition of eve's smiling and laughing behavior
5)The antecedent is them playing baseball

A=playing baseball
B=wall-e hiding his head
C=eve laughs and smiles

This is an example of positive reinforcement because wall-e is adding his behavior of hiding his head so he elicits the positive behavior of eve laughing and smiling.

I am using a clip from the T.V. show, Family Guy. In this clip, Lois and Brian are lounging on floaties in the water, and Peter is acting like he is a shark. Both Lois and Brian find Peter’s behavior aversive, so they scold him and tell him to go away by positively punishing him, because they’re isn’t even any sharks in the water in the first place. Then the clip moves to reveal a shark in the water emitting a talking to himself about how he could eat the people, but he is trying to watch his weight through deprivation.
1)The target behavior is Peter swimming around the others with his shark hat on saying how he is a shark. 2) The consequence of Peter’s behavior is Brian and Lois telling him that his behavior is becoming aversive. 3) This consequence will decrease Peter’s behavior, because he will move away from Lois and Brian. 4) This consequence involves the addition of Lois’s scolding to Peter. 5) The antecedent in this part it is the Griffin family at the beach.
A- The Griffin family at the beach.
B- Peter pretends he is a shark by swimming around them and singing a shark song.
C- Brian and Lois get annoyed by Peter’s aversive behavior.
This is an example of positive punishment
1)The second part of the clip that I am focusing on is where the shark is in the water emitting a talking behavior to himself about not eating people. 2) The target behavior is to continue not eating people. The consequence of this behavior is the shark emitting the talking behavior to himself about how he was alone last Fourth of July, and how he could stand to lose a little weight through deprivation. 3) This consequence will increase the likelihood that the shark will continue to not eat people. 4) This consequence involves the addition of the shark emitting a talking behavior to himself. 5) The antecedent is the shark is hungry when there are swimmers around to eat.
A- The shark is hungry when there are swimmers around to eat.
B- The shark tells himself why he shouldn’t eat the people.
C- The shark only watches the people and does not eat them.
This is an example of positive reinforcement.

I love How I Met Your Mother so I decided to surf for a good clip for this assignment. I Had a little trouble finding one but I remembered slapsgiving so decided it would work. If you have never seen HIMYM I am sorry but basicly the video is about how Barney bet Marshall one slap if he losses a bet which he did. In this clip Marshall is going to use the slap on Barney but decides not to. But in the end he does anyway lol. 1) Barney emits that them being together acomplished elicted slapsgivings purpuse so no slap is required. Target behavior=no slap 2) Barney not getting hurt. 3) Now that Marshall has not slapped Barney, it is reinforced that Marshall will be nice and not slap Barney in the future. 4) It requires the removal of a adversive slap. Or no adition of the slap, either way you look at it. 5) the antecedent is slapsgiving.


A= Slapsgiving
B= No slap
C= Less likely for future slap

Negative reinforcement is used in this portion of the clip.

Barney ends up getting slapped in the end, due in part to Lilli saying he can and Barney being a jerk afterwords. 1) The target behavior in this portion of the clip is Barney getting slapped or Marshall continueing to slap Barney (aka the SLAP is the target behavior). 2) The consequence of the behavior is Barney getting hurt/taught a lesson. 3) The consequence should decrease the bad behavior of Barney or more likely change his betting behavior. 4) The consequence includes the addition of a adversive stimuli (the slap) 5) The ancedent is still the case of the last one above, slapsgiving.

Please then list the ABC's of the behavior

A= Slapsgiving
B= Slap
C= Change Betting behavior

This is a example of postive punishment.

The setting is overtime for the wildcard NFL playoff game between the Steelers and Broncos. This clip entails the winning throw by Tim Tebow to allow the Broncos to proceed further in the playoffs.

1. The target behavior is the successful pass by Tebow that led to the Broncos win. This throw is reinforcing because Tebow emitted a desirable behavior that had a desirable consequence: a touchdown.

2. The consequence of throwing the pass for a touchdown was twofold: immediately it was that the Broncos won the football game. The other consequence is that Tebow probably insured that he will have a job for another year.

3. The consequence of throwing the touchdown in overtime is best put as insurance. Tim Tebow has been an issue of discussion all year, given that people have been skeptical of his abilities. Throwing a touchdown pass is one of the most desirable behaviors a quarterback can emit. Doing this will ensure that Tebow's coach will not fire him from the team, and Tebow will get what he desires, which is to continue to be a starter on a NFL team.

4. The consequence is adding something desirable. Adding a touchdown as the conclusion to the desired behavior will increase the likelihood of Tebow attempting to repeat that desired behavior.

5. The antecedent is overtime. Overtime is the context that sets the occasion for the game-winning throw.

A: In the context of overtime at the NFL wildcard game.

B: Tim Tebow threw a pass that resulted in a touchdown.

C: The Broncos won the football game and progressed further in the playoffs.

This is an example of positive reinforcement because winning the game is desirable, and increases the likelihood that Tebow will attempt the replicate the behavior.

This clip also illustrates punishment, in the context of the Steelers. This clip illustrates Tim Tebow throwing a pass to beat the steelers in overtime to win the NFL wildcard game.

1. The target behavior is effectively defending against the Broncos, in order to give the offense a chance to win.

2. The consequence of effectively defending is that it gives the Steelers a chance to win the game and keep chasing a coveted spot in the Super Bowl.

3. Had the Steelers effectively defended against the pass, it would result in something desirable, possibly winning. Winning is desirable and is usually a good enough of a reason to repeat the behavior of stopping the opponent's offense from scoring.

Terms:
4. From the context of the Steelers, this is punishment because the addition of the touchdown against them resulted in them losing their chance to try to get into the Super Bowl. This is the removal of something desirable, or the addition of something undesirable.

5. The antecedent of this clip is overtime at a NFL wildcard game, and the Broncos having the ball on offense.

A: In overtime of the NFL wildcard game, with the Steelers on defense.

B: The Steelers defense does not keep the Broncos from scoring.

C: The Steelers do not win, and do not go further into the playoffs.

This is positive punishment because there is the addition of something undesirable that will motivate the Steelers to attempt to not repeat their losing behavior.

Terms: target behavior, reinforcing, desirable behavior, desirable consequence, emit, antecedent, positive reinforcement, positive punishment.

The clip I found was from the movie “School of Rock”. In the movie, Jack Black impersonates being a substitute teacher in order to get money. This scene from the movie is his very first day at the school.

REINFORCEMENT (displayed at the very beginning of the clip)
1. The target behavior the teacher is trying to elicit is a kid giving food to their new teacher, Mr. S.
2. The consequence of the behavior is that Mr. S will be happy and praise the kid who gives him food
3. Kid’s like praise, especially from authority figures, so they will want to emit the behavior of giving him food in order to make their substitute happy
4. The consequence involved the addition of something – praise and happiness
5. The antecedent is a hung-over, hungry teacher searching for food

A – Hung-over, hungry teacher searching for food
B – Girl emits the behavior of giving Mr. S food
C – Girl gets praised and therefore reinforced for giving her substitute teacher her sandwich

This is positive reinforcement.

PUNISHMENT (displayed right after the reinforcement)
1. The target behavior Jack Black finds aversive and is trying to diminish is Freddie Jones back talking to him
2. The consequence of Freddie emitting the behavior of talking like a smart alec will get him reprimanded/yelled at
3. Kids find being yelled at aversive, and therefore Freddie Jones won’t want to continue to back talk to his teacher
4. The consequence involved the addition of something – being yelled at
5. The antecedent is Mr. S asking an inappropriate question

A – Mr. S asks what a hangover is to elicit an answer from the kids
B – Freddie Jones takes it too far, and emits a rude behavior of talking back to his teacher
C – Jack Black yells/scolds Freddie so he will “shut up”

This is positive punishment

(28 secs.) The First clip I emitted was from the show "Family Guy." The little boy meets this man at the market to collect merchandise for his father. He returns home and his father is proud of him for bringing the merchandise to him. In return the father rewards the boy with a bunny. 1.) The operant behavior I witnessed was the little boy delivering the merchandise to his father, in turn he gives his son a pet bunny. 2) The consequences are if the boy does bring back the merchandise on time he will keep getting rewarded. If he doesn't he will not receive rewards. 3.) These behaviors will increase because you are using the reward method. Making children want to emit more tasks to receive more rewards. 4.) This consequence involves adding something which in this case is a bunny. 5.) The antecedent is choosing to be at the store to pick up the merchandise at the correct time or to be late.

A-Meeting at the store to pick up the merchandise
B-Delievering it
C-Receive bunny

This is an example of positive reinforcement because they are adding a bunny to increase the frequency of the behavior.

(56secs) The second clip is right after my first one involves Peter, Lois and Chris. Peter and his son usually watch a particular show together. Lois storms in and tells chris tat he won't be watching the show with his father this time until he gets his grades up on his report card. 1.) The operant behavior that illustrates punishment in this video is lois not letting Chris watch TV until his grades have improved. 2.) The behavior is taking away Chris's ability to watch his favorite show with Peter. 3.) The behavior of receiving horrible grades will decrease, since he isn't able to watch TV (Loosing something that they enjoy). 4.) This consequence involves depriving something which in this case is the ability of watching TV. 5.) The antecedent is choosing to study or receive sufficient grades.

A-Studying hard
B-Get good grades
C- Watch TV

This is an example of negative reinforcement (punishment) because the parents are taking away the TV (something they value) until Chris receives better grades.

In this clip, all the friends are talking about who gets to take care of Rachel and Ross's baby if they were to die. Rachel's sister is not on the list and she gets very upset. Rachel and her sister begin to fight over the situation and they break one of Monica's fancy plates.

Punishment: (3:30 in the video)
The target behavior is Rachel and her sister physically fighting. The consequence of their fighting is Chandler yelling at them because they broke a plate, and telling them it might be better if they left the apartment. The consequence is going to decrease the behavior because Rachel is great friends with Monica and Chandler and if she keeps fighting she will not be able to visit them at their apartment. It is going to remove the option of Rachel being able to visit her friends. The antecedent is giving responsibility of the baby in case of an accident.
A: Giving responsibility
B: Rachel physically fighting with her sister
C: Chandler threatens to kick them out of their apartment
This clip is negative punishment.

Reinforcement: (4:20 in the clip)
The target behavior is Chandler solving the fight responsibly. The consequence of the target behavior is Ross gives Chandler the opportunity to take care of his baby if an accident happens. The consequence is going to increae Chandlers behavior because he acted responsibly and is given the chance to take care of the baby, which is what he wanted. It is going to add something because it adds responsibility in Chandler's life and the option of being a parent to the baby. The antecedent is the two girls fighting.
A: Rachel and her sister physically fight
B: Chandler breaks up the fight responsibly and quickly
C: Chandler is given the opportunity to take care of the baby
This is positive reinforcement because Chandler emitted responsible behavior and it adds responsibility to his life.

This clip is from a scene from my favorite movie, Casablanca. In this particular scene, Ilsa is in Rick’s bar and finds Sam at the piano and decides to ask him to play her and Rick’s song. Sam puts up a fight as to why he shouldn’t play it but does anyway. Rick hears the song and after getting upset from hearing it he tells Sam to stop playing.

1) The target behavior to emit is Ilsa humming “As Time Goes By.”
2) When Ilsa elicits this behavior the consequence is that Sam will play the song on the piano.
3) Ilsa will then know that to increase the frequency of Sam playing that song on the piano, she will have to hum it out.
4) The consequence of this behavior is caused by the addition of the piano playing therefore it is a positive.
5) The antecedent in this case is Rick’s bar.

The ABC's of the behavior:
A= Rick’s Bar
B=
Ilsa humming “As Time Goes By”
C= Sam plays it on the piano

This is an example of positive reinforcement as Ilsa's humming is reinforced by the response of Sam playing the piano after she hums.

1) The target behavior to be punished when elicited is when Sam emits the behavior of playing the song “As Time Goes By” on the piano.
2) When Sam plays the song it the consequence is that Rick gets upset.
3) When Rick gets upset, Sam will decrease the frequency of playing the song as it is aversive.
4) This instance is a case in which the response of being upset is an addition, therefore a positive.
5) The antecedent in this situation is Rick’s Bar also.

The ABC's of the behavior:
A=
Rick’s Bar
B= Sam playing the song “As Time Goes By”
C= Rick gets upset

This video is part of a series of blog-style videos that this user makes every week. This particular video is about how every group of friends has that one person that always makes a situation uncomfortable with their awkwardness.

Reinforcement:
*The whole video
1) The target behavior is learning how to act in social situations, whether it's with your friends or with people that you have just met.
2) The consequence of the behavior is being a person that everyone wants to be around.
3) This consequence will increase the frequency of the behavior because people will want to be more likeable.
4) This consequence involves the addition of something: being more liked by other people.
5) The antecedent is wanting to know how to become a more likeable person.

A = wanting to become a more likeable person
B = watching the video
C = knowing how to not be an awkward person

Punishment:
*This part occurs at about :47 in the video
1) The target behavior is not laughing at your own joke.
2) The consequence of the behavior is your friend emitting a dirty look from you laughing too much. The person will then experience deprivation by not receiving the consequence he wants.
3) This consequence will decrease the frequency of the behavior because the person doesn't want that consequence to occur.
4) This consequence involves the addition of a dirty look to the behavior.
5) The antecedent is telling a non-funny joke and laughing too hard at it.

For this assignment, I used the first half of the first of episode a show called Fullmetal Alchemist. This clip shows a teaser of some of the history of the two main characters and then shows their arrival at a desert town.
I will start with the punishment part of the video.
1)The two boys try to bring their mother back from the dead.
2) Edward loses his leg and arm and Al loses his entire body.
3) This consequence decreases the likelihood they will try to revive their dead mother in the future.
4) This punishment involves the removal of their bodies.
5) The antecedent is their mother dying.
A= Edward and Al's mother dies, eliciting a grief response from the two boys.
B= Edward and Al try to revive their dead mother with alchemy.
C= Edward loses his arm and leg and Al loses his entire body.
This is an example of negative punishment.

This occurs at minute two of the video.

Now for the reinforcement part of the video.
1) The target behavior is Edward and Al emitting an accompanying behavior towards Ruby.
2)The consequence of this behavior is Edward and Al will receive access to a place to sleep for the night.
3) This is an pleasurable stimulus so it will increase the likelihood Al and Edward will accompany Ruby.
4) This consequence involves the addition of a place to sleep.
5) Ruby elicits the accompanying response of Al and Edward by inviting them to the worship services.
A= Ruby invites Al and Edward to the service
B= Edward and Al accompany her to the service.
C= Edward and Al receive a place to sleep.
This is an example of positive reinforcement.
This part of the clip begins at minute nine.

Terms: antecedent, target behavior, elicit, emit, consequence, response, pleasurable stimulus.

This video is from the episode of the Big Bang theory where Sheldon and Penny go for a jog. After Sheldon emits the behavior of knocking on Pennys door she comes out to warm up in the hallway. The upcoming jog elicits the stretching behavior and they emit the behavior of touching their toes. However, after discovering that Sheldon cannot do the stretches they decide to do warm ups as they jog. They start down the stairs and Sheldon falls.

The target behavior is warming up by stretching to touch their toes. The consequence of this behavior is so that they don’t pull something while running. The consequence of not pulling a muscle while they run will increase the frequency that they stretch by touching their toes. This is a form of positive reinforcement because they are adding the reinforcer of stretched out muscles. The antecedent is that Penny and Sheldon decide to stretch their muscles by touching their toes before going for a jog.

A: Decide to stretch before going for a jog
B: Stretching to touch their toes
C: Not pulling a muscle while jogging

Terms used: emits, behavior, elicit, target behavior, consequence, positive reinforcement, reinforce, antecedent

The second part of the video has the target behavior of Sheldon running down the stairs after they decide to warm up on the run. The consequence of Sheldon running down the stairs is that he falls down and then farts. This aversive outcome of falling down the stairs and farting in front of Penny will decrease the likelihood that he will emit the behavior of running down the stairs. This is a form of positive punishment because pain is the added stimulus. The antecedent of the target behavior is that Penny and Sheldon decide to warm up on the run

A: Decide to warm up on the run
B: Sheldon runs down the stairs
C: Sheldon falls down the stairs and farts

Terms used: target behavior, consequence, aversive, emit, positive punishment

The clip I chose to use was a clip from the office. It is Dwight accusing Jim of making up some crazy illnesses when they are going over their health care plan. Jim then takes Dwight's keys and then locks him in the room so he cant get out. He then talks on the phone with Pam and completely ignores Dwight's yelling and screaming about letting him out.
1. The target behavior is Jim locking Dwight in the conference room.
2.the consequence of this behavior is Jim doesnt have to listen to Dwight ask him about the health care plan.
3. The consequence will increase Jims frequency of locking Dwight in a room when he is annoying him
4. the consequence of the behavior removes something negavtive so it would be negative reinforcement.
the antecedent is Dwight accusing Jim of making up diseases to be covered by the health care plan.
A talking about the health care plan in the conference room
B Jim locking Dwight in the conference riin
C Jim doesnt have to listen to Dwight
this is an example of negative reinforcement

In this video Peter emits the behavior of going to Carter to borrow some money.

The target behavior that illustrates the reinforced behavior is peter borrowing some money from Carter.

The consequence of Peter borrowing money from Carter is digging into a jar filled with salt and barbwire and the money at the bottom.

The consequence will increase the frequency of Peter looking to borrow money from somebody else to avoid the aversive consequence of borrowing from carter.

The consequence involves adding a jar filled with salt barbwire and money.

The antecedent is Peter needing to borrow money.

A= Peter needing money.
B= Peter borrowing money from Carter.
C= Digging to the bottom of the jar to get the money.

This is negative reinforcement

The target behavior is Peter needing to borrow money from Carter.

The consequence is Peter has to go through the aversive punishment and pain of digging to the bottom of the jar to get the money from Carter.

The consequence will decrease the likelihood of Peter borrowing money from Carter again when he needs to borrow money.

The consequence involves adding the jar filled with salt, barbwire, and money.

The antecedent is Peter going to Carter for money.

A= Peter borrowing money from Carter
B= Peter has to dig to the bottom of the jar.

This is a scene from the gridiron gang in which some of the players think they are "man enough" to not wear a cup.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=9uD8u9yPOxw

1) The target behavior would be to wear a cup when playing football. 2)The consequence of the behavior would be not getting your " biscuits broke", which reinforces wearing the nut cup. 3)By not getting their biscuits broken it will increase the frequency of the players wearing their cups, which elicits them to not worry about protecting themselves. 4)The consequence adds the addition of the cup, but it also takes away the possibility of getting their biscuits broken. The antecedent is on the football field.
A= On the football field playing football
B= Wearing a nut cup
C= Not getting your biscuits broken
- this is an example of both positive and negative reinforcement because your adding the cup which is a positive reinforcement but your taking away the pain from not wearing a cup which is negative reinforcement.

For Punishment I used the exact same clip, but just looked at in with a different view.
1. The target behavior would be players trying to be tough and not wear a cup. 2)The consequence of the emitted behavior would be getting hit in the biscuits, which would reinforce wearing a nut cup. 3)The consequence of getting hit in the biscuits would be feeling pain, which would be aversive to the player causing them to wear a cup next time. 4)The consequence would add the ball or some way of getting hit in the biscuits which would cause pain. 5)The antecedent is on the football field.
A=On the football field
B=Not wearing a nut cup
C=Getting your biscuits broke.
-This is an example of positive punishment because your adding pain to make the player protect his biscuits.

Specifically I highlight this part of the clip: 1:40-3:00

This is a clip from the film: Gandhi. It starts with Gandhi speaking to a forum of people. He is urging his fellow men to stand up and fight with peaceful resistance. The reinforced behavior is peaceful resistance.

1) The clip that I highlight entails a showdown between Gandhi and his men, and imperial soldiers on horses. Instead of emitting a standing up with weapons to fight behavior, Gandhi urges his men to emit a nonviolent behavior. The behavior I am targeting is the peaceful resistance, the part where all of the men fall to the ground and cover their heads.

2) The consequence of this behavior is to elicit the soldiers to desist violent abuse towards the men.

3) Because few of Gandhi's men were harmed in this interaction, the nonviolent behavior has been reinforced: something desirable occurred to the behavior.

4) This behavior is twofold. It removes violent behaviors which stimulate violent reactions from their oppressors, and it is adding a new behavior. They are adding nonviolent behaviors to replace violent ones.

5) The antecedent is British violence and oppression of Indian citizens.

A=In the context of british oppression, Gandhi urges his men to emit nonviolent behaviors.

B= The behavior emitted by the men is to lay down on the ground in response to violence.

C= The English soldiers retreat.

This is positive reinforcement because the addition of the laying down behavior elicited a desirable consequence, the retreat of the English.

1) The behavior being punished in this clip, 1:40-3:00, is violence towards Indian citizens. The behavior emitted is laying on the ground.

2) The consequence of the behavior is a retreating behavior on the English part.

3) Retreating will reinforce nonviolent behaviors on the part of India, and punish violent behaviors of the English.

4) The consequence of retreating will increase nonviolent behaviors and decrease violent behaviors.

5) The antecedent is oppression in India by the English.

A=In the context of oppression in India, English soldiers are being violent towards Indian citizens. Indian citizens act nonviolently towards the English soldiers.

B=The English retreat from the Indian citizens when the citizens lay down on the ground in reaction to English violence.

C=The nonviolent behavior is reinforced and the violent behavior is punished.

This is positive punishment because the addition of nonviolent behavior decreases the undesirable behavior of violence.
