Hi Class,
So far we have discussed reinforcement (increasing the frequency of a behavior as a result of the consequence) and punishment (decreasing the frequency of a behavior as a result of the consequence). What I would like you to do is to find just one video clip off the internet where it illustrates both reinforcement and punishment in the same video.
For originality sake, make sure the videos you are not using the same videos the four other students before you just used. Please be sensitive to this issue.
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.
Let me know if you have any questions....
Writers Reflect On Childhood Torment In 'Dear Bully' is about a woman who was bullied as a child and grew up to write a book about bullies, being bullied, suicide, and preventing bullying. She talked about how bullying has lead to suicide of a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts named Phoebe Prince this last year in 2010. The article goes on to talk about how serious bullying is, how much it effects individuals (both the bullied and bullies), and the book that was written and how it will hopefully reach out to individuals who are bullied.
Example 1:
1. The target behavior is the idea of reaching out to and helping individuals who are bullied.
It is positive reinforcement from the perspective that the addition of confidence and the further addition of reaching out to the bullied individuals is reinforced as the number of bully related suicides and suicide attempts decreases.
2. The consequence of the behavior of reaching out to individuals who are bullied is that the individuals have hope and confidence and don’t feel that there is no escape from the ridicule-thus, there are fewer suicides and suicide attempts.
3. The consequence will decrease the number of suicides and the hopeless feelings of individuals who are bullied.
4. The consequence involves the addition of confidence to bullied individuals.
5. The antecedent in this particular case is the book that was written which reached out to bullied individuals and decrease suicide rates and suicide attempts.
A= Wrote a book
B= Reached out to individuals who are bullied
C=Bullied individuals have more self-confidence and faith-suicides decrease.
The example shows how the EMITTING of an outreach program such as the ELICITING of a book can EMIT a RESPONSE that displays POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT which increases confidence in individuals through focus on the TARGET BEHAVIOR. The ADDITION of confidence and comfort for bullied ORGANISMS is REINFORCED by the desired RESPONSE is that suicide attempts decrease.
Example 2:
1. The target behavior is the committing of/attempting suicide. This is difficult to state if it is punishment or reinforcement-I’m going to present this with the argument from the perspective of punishment. I believe it is punishment, specifically negative punishment because it takes away the life of someone who’s valuable. Thus, society, families, and the person who was bullying are all punished as a part of them is taken away (it’s a stretch because it’s psychological which is always difficult to define). I believe that the bully themselves is also positively punished as they receive a guilt that will most likely remain with them throughout life. I believe that it is the guilt specifically and the realization of how serious the act of bullying is that is the punisher. The punisher is and added emotion, therefore it is positive punishment because it decreases bullying.
2. Extreme bullying has, in some cases, as mentioned in the article, lead to suicide and the consequence or the effect that comes after the traumatic act of suicide a feeling of guilt and remorse in the bully-those feeling will decrease bullying.
3. The consequence will decrease the frequency of bullying as people are able to see what bullying can lead to and how horrible it is based on the action.
4. This consequence involves the removal of a human life which causes guilt and enlightens bullies of the severity of their actions. Thus, the consequence is a decrease bullying.
5. The antecedent was being bullied
A= Got Bullied
B= Committed Suicide
C=Bullies feel guilt and remorse (Bullying Decreases)
The example is POSITIVE PUNISHMENT as the EMITTING of bullying ELICITS feelings of emotional and even physical pain on an ORGANISM(1) as another ORGANISM(2) MANIPULATES the emotions of the ORGANISM(1). The OPERANT BEHAVIOR of both ORGANISMS draws attention to the TARGET BEHAVIOR which is suicide. The RESPONSE of ORGANISM(1) may be severe enough to EMIT suicide or a suicide attempt. The suicide is an AVERSIVE STIMILUS that will have the CONSEQUENCE of decreasing the rate of bully provoked suicides and lead to the POSITIVE PUNISHMENT that is ELICITING pain and guilt on ORGANISM(2) for the actions he/she/it EMITTED.

This clip is a short pixar film called Kiwi. It is about a little penguin who works really hard to nail all of these trees to the side of a really big cliff. He then jumps off of the cliff to give himself the illusion of flying. The clip ends by going dark and making a small bang noise giving the impression the penguin crashed when he reached the bottom of the cliff.
Reinforcement
1. The target behavior for the reinforcement in this film is the penguin working really hard setting up tress on the side of the cliff.
2. The consequence of the penguin working really hard to set up those trees was that when he jumped/dove off of the cliff it gave him the illusion of flying.
3. The consequence of illusion of flying will increase the penguin’s behavior because it is providing him with a feeling he cannot usually experience. Because penguins are birds I assume they have the drive to fly however evolution sucked for them. So the drive to fly creates a high valance for the penguin to have the illusion to fly.
4. The consequence involves the addition of the flying illusion making it positive reinforcement.
5. The antecedent is a really big cliff.
A. Really big cliff
B. Working hard to put trees on the side of a cliff
C. The illusion of flying
Punishment
1. The target behavior for the punishment in this clip is the penguin jumping off of the very big cliff.
2. The consequence of jumping is that eventually you have to land.
3. When the penguin landed he most likely died or was severely injured therefore he will be unable to jump off of the cliff again.
4. The consequence involves the removing of life making it negative punishment.
5. The antecedent is once again a very big cliff.
A. Really big cliff
B. Jumping off of the really big cliff
C. Death
Terms: reinforcement, punishment, antecedent, behavior, consequence, target behavior, valance, negative, positive
This is about two little boys sitting in a chair when Charlie the baby bites his older brother. TARGET BEHAVIOR is to get the people watching the video to laugh. This is a POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. The CONSEQUENCES of this behavior is that Charlie bites again harder. This is going to increase the frequency of this BEHAVIOR or biting. The consequence doesn’t add or take away anything and the antecedent is sitting in a chair being recorded.
A: sitting in a chair after Charlie bites his brother
B: people laughing
C: Charlie bites again harder.
The second part of the video has Charlie biting his brother again and it hurts this time. The TARGET BEHAVIOR is the boy sticking his finger in Charlie’s mouth and Charlie bites harder. This is a NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT. The CONSEQUENCES of this behavior is that his brother gets hurt. This consequence is going to decrease the frequency of the behavior because he was hurt. The consequence involves removing his finger from Charlie’s mouth. The antecedent is sitting in a chair after he’s been bitten by Charlie once
A: Sitting in the chair after being bitten by Charlie already
B: boy sticks his finger in Charlie’s mouth and Charlie bites harder
C: The brothers finger hurts

This is a clip from Tangled. In this clip the horse Maximus finally tracks down Flynn, and attempts to drag him away because Flynn stole the Princesses crown. Rapunzel then splits them up because she has her own mission in mind. She gets the horse to do as she commands by praising him. In the end of the video the horse and Flynn agree to work together for 24 hours.
1) The target behavior is getting the horse to sit and drop the boot on command it is a positive reinforcement because of the fact that he is then praised for doing what she says.
2) The consequence of emitting the behavior of sitting and dropping the boot is getting praised by being told how good of a boy he is and getting scratched.
3) The consequence will increase the frequency in which the horse will listen to her because he enjoys getting praised and scratched.
4) The consequence involves the addition of praise and attention.
5) The antecedent to this behavior is the fact that they are on a journey to see the floating lights.
A) On a journey to the lights
B) Horse sitting and dropping boot
C) Gets praised and scratched
Positive Reinforcement
1) The target behavior is stealing the crown. The background knowledge to this clip is that Flynn stole the crown and now the King and his people are after Flynn. The stealing of the crown is the target behavior because the horse is trying to get him to give the crown back and not try to steal again.
2) The consequence to stealing the crown is the fact that he is now a wanted criminal and the horse has finally found him and going to take him to prison.
3) By being punished by the horse the frequency of his behavior of stilling should be decreased.
4) This consequence involves the addition of punishment. He is dragged away from his camp sight and is going to be taken to prison.
5) The antecedent is that he is on a journey to the floating lights with Rapunzel.
A) On a journey to the lights
B) Stole crown
C) Gets attacked by the horse

This is a story about a boy named Dave Pelzer who was tortured and beaten by his drunk step mom almost everyday as a child. Every time the father goes out to work or go about his routine, the mom drinks a lot and after drinking she would pick on Dave as her target to relieve her stress. She would tell him to wash the dishes, after doing it; she stills complain that what he did was not right. Sometimes she would tell him to stay on the stove to look after things (I have no idea why). Dave had siblings, but he was the only one picked on from when he was 7 till after he was taken away by his teachers at the age 12. The book he wrote which I read in High School is titled “A Child Called It.” Dave agrees that this book is about child abuse but that everyone has some kind of problem in their life.
1. The target behavior is the idea of reaching out to and helping individuals who have been abused.
It is a positive reinforcement from the fact that as a child Dave was tortured and beaten (abused) but now, without considering the past, he became successful. This is a motivation to those who have experienced this kind of lifestyle event. This will also make people pay attention to households or family who drink a lot to be able to decrease this abusive factor in the near future.
2. The consequence of the behavior of reaching out to individuals who have been abused (tortured and beaten) is that, those who went through it stayed strong and instead of looking at their present, they shall look at the future. Therefore, this will increase self-assurance and the ability to decrease this from happening. This also helps individuals who are currently going through things to speak up and know it is not the kind of life they are meant to life, to reduce the facto of abuse.
3. The consequences will decrease the guilt and self-blaming factor for those who are abused.
4. The consequences absorb the craving of braveness and courage in abused individuals.
5. The antecedent in this is the book “A Child Called It” that was written to reach out to abused individuals who were tortured and beaten.
A: Wrote a book
B: Reached out to individuals who are abused (tortured and beaten)
C: Abused (tortured and beaten) individuals remain strong and as a result this led to them being alive and successful and not hurting themselves.

This is a story about a boy name Dave Pelzer who was tortured and flattened by his drunk step mom almost everyday as a child. Every time the father leaves to work or go about his routine, the mom drinks a lot and after drinking, she would pick on Dave as her target to alleviate her stress. She would tell him to wash the dishes, after doing it; she still criticize that what he did was erroneous. Sometimes she would tell him to emit a behavior such as stay on the stove to gaze after things. Dave had siblings, but he was the only one singled out from when he was 7 till after he was taken away by his teachers at age 12. The book he wrote which I read in High School is titled “A Child Called It.” Dave agrees that this book is not about child abuse but that everyone has some kind of problem in their life.
1. The target behavior is the idea of reaching out to and helping individuals who have been abused.
2. The consequence of the behavior of reaching out to individuals who have been abused (tortured and beaten) is that, those who went through it stayed strong and instead of looking at their present, they shall look at the future. Therefore, this will increase self-assurance and the ability to decrease this from happening. This also helps individuals who are currently going through things to speak up and know it is not the kind of life they are meant to life, to reduce the facto of abuse.
3. The consequences will decrease the guilt and self-blaming factor for those who are abused.
4. The consequences absorb the craving of braveness and courage in abused individuals.
5. The antecedent in this is the book “A Child Called It” that was written to reach out to abused individuals who were tortured and beaten.
A: Wrote a book
B: Reached out to individuals who are abused (tortured and beaten)
C: Abused (tortured and beaten) individuals remain strong and as a result this led to them being alive and successful and not hurting themselves.
The positive reinforcement in this will be Dave paying close attention to his mom’s reaction (behavior) after drinking. The punishment will be the decrease of being around the mother. In other word, knowing that he being around her will reinforce her to hurt him, so the punishment is getting away from her.

This is Randy Pausch's speech to the graduates of Carnegie Mellon Univeristy. He speaks of making the most of what you can in life and never regret anything. Randy is well known for another video called "The Last Lecture". In that video Randy gives his lecture in what at one time was called the last lecture series as it allowed to give the speakers to give the one lecture they wanted to give before they died. This was made ironic in the worst sense as Randy's doctors had found ten tumors in his liver and only had months to live. To return to this speech, Randy has lived much longer than anticipated, yet he still doesn't take anything for granted and lives life to his fullest.
1) the TARGET BEHAVIOR is to reach out to leaving graduates as they enter the "real" world. It's POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT to them (the students)that they should go through life achieving as much as they can while they can and to have no regrets.
2) the consequence of this behavior is that the students will not be AVERSIVE to doing what they need to do to succeed.
3) The CONSEQUENCE will be that more people will be successful and lead more fulfilling lives.
4) The consequence involves the addition of inspiration to the graduates.
5) The ANTECEDENT would be giving a speech at graduation.
A= Gave a speech
B= Inspired the graduates
C= Graduates will be successful and have a fullfilling life.
The second part of the video focuses on punishment as Randy's mention of the fact that he is essentially a deadman walking, thus acknowledging the elephant in the room. I view it as a punishment only in the sense it does slightly take away from the happy atmosphere that would be graduation.
1) the target behavior is mentioning the fact that Randy has a limited time left to live, and isn't averse to stating otherwise.
2) the consequence to that behavior is that Randy EMMITS a feeling of not defeat but forlorn acceptance which ELICITS the crowd to feel sad.
3) The consequence of this is the fact that the crowd also pays attention to this man.
4) The consequence involves Randy mentioning is inevitable death and the taking away of "happiness" or the festive mood.
5) the antecedent would be giving a speech at graduation.
A= Gives Speech
B= Mentions his death/dire health
C= Takes away festive graduation mood.

Dearest Classmates my esteemed professional colleagues,(assigned blog entry to follow at later time)
I have been reflecting much on the valence of my blog entries of late. I am so, so sorry for allowing myself to emit my emotionality in some of these ways. Although I may passionately feel certain ways about certain aspects of the course material, I feel it is wrong of me to bring these personal feelings to this public forum. I am making effort to see cheerful, agreeable aspects of materials and highlight from now on encouraging, respectful reflections of these topics.
I am so inspired and impressed by each of you, my colleagues. Thank each of you so much for the valued reflections. -Evan B. Schultz- 9/5/12 @ 1865 hrs. Centric Time

In this clip, Bruce Bogtrotter is in trouble for eating his principal’s cake. She tries to punish him by making him eat more cake than is imaginable in front of the entire school. The students see that Bruce is struggling with eating the cake, so one by one they all stand up and start cheering for Bruce to finish, therefore reinforcing Bruce to eat what was left of the massive cake.
1. The target behavior that illustrates the reinforced behavior is Bruce finishing the whole cake.
2. The consequence of the behavior is Bruce is victorious.
3. The consequence will increase the frequency of the behavior because the more confident and victorious Bruce feels, the more times he will face a challenge and conquer it.
4. The consequence involves the addition of victory and confidence for Bruce.
5. The antecedent is all of the students cheering for Bruce to finish the cake.
A=Classmates cheer for Bruce
B=Bruce finishes the whole cake
C=Bruce is victorious and confident
This is an example of positive reinforcement.
1. The target behavior that illustrates the punished behavior is Bruce eating the principal’s cake.
2. The consequence of the behavior is Bruce is forced to eat an entire cake in front of his whole school.
3. The consequence will decrease the frequency of the behavior by humiliating Bruce in front of everyone, therefore causing him to not want to eat his principal’s cake ever again.
4. The consequence involves the addition of more cake.
5. The antecedent is Bruce being at school.
A=At school
B=Bruce ate principal’s cake
C=Bruce forced to eat more cake in front of the whole school
This is an example of positive punishment.

This clip is about two guys who go to a party and one of them hasn't eaten and is feeling very hungry. The hungry man (Joe Pesci) overreacts when one of the girls he and a friend are talking to looks at someone walking behind him. He starts to elicit words of hate asking them all these questions like, "aren't we good enough?" The scene references a scene from the movie Goodfella's where Pesci is known for his aggressively violent behavior. As soon as he eats the snickers candy bar he is back to his old self again.
1) the target behavior in this is being yourself and not freaking out and eliciting angry behavior (transforming into angry actor) due to the deprivation of food.
2) The Consequence of this behavior is people not being offended by your overreaction by your friends telling you to chill out by giving you a Snickers.

This is a scene from the movie "The Swan Princess." By this point, Odette is being held hostage by the evil Rothbart. Every night when the moon comes out, she can return to her human form. But, during the daytime and nights with no moon, she is stuck in the form of a swan because Rothbart cursed her. The only way that Odette can break the curse is if she agrees to marry Rothbart(which she would never do), or if her lover Derek professes his 'everlasting love' for her to the world. So in this clip, she just made plans with Derek to break the curse. So, she tries to trick Rothbart into thinking that she'll marry him. But, Rothbart taunts her by explaining that he knows about her plan with Derek and that since there won't be a moon on the night that Derek's profession would happen, she has no way of telling him what happened.
Reinforcement
1) The target behavior is getting Rothbart excited to marry Odette.
2) The consequence of giving Rothbart her hand in marriage meant that he would finally have his revenge (on her father, long story).
3) This consequence would increase the frequency of behavior because Odette would become completely powerless against Rothbart.
4) The consequence involves the removal of Odette's throne and independence.
5) The antecedent would be the secret hiding place where Rothbart keeps Odette by the lake.
A= The hideout by the lake
B= Rothbart is excited to marry Odette
C= Rothbart gets his revenge
This is clearly an example of negative reinforcement.
Punishment
1) The target behavior is to scare Odette.
2) The consequence of scaring Odette is that Odette will cry and feel helpless.
3) This consequence will decrease the frequency of the behavior because Rothbart wants Odette to die and she hates him too much to show any more emotion.
4)The consequence involves the removal of Odette's confidence and hopefulness.
5)The antecedent is that Rothbart found Derek's bow.
A= Reveal Derek's bow
B= Scare Odette
C= Odette cries
This is an example of negative punishment.

This clip is a short pixar film called Partly Cloudy. It is about clouds that make baby animals and humans for storks to deliver. In this film there is a grey cloud that seems to only be able to create baby animals that can hurt or otherwise make it difficult for the stork to deliver.
Positive Reinforcement: I isolated this reinforcement to one part in the beginning about 1m & 15sec. into the short film. This is where one of the clouds make a baby boy and the baby starts to cry. (becomes sad)
1. The Target behavior for the reinforcement in this part is the baby boy crying. (sad)
2. The consequence is the mother cloud makes him a toy football and the baby is no longer sad.
3. The consequence will increase the frequency in which the baby may start to cry (become sad) when he wants something.
4. The consequence involves the addition of a gift.
5. On top of a cloud
A) On top of a cloud
B) Crying baby (sad)
C) Gets a gift
Punishment: This part is more towards the end of the short film about 3m & 30sec. The grey cloud seems to only be able to make things that hurt the stork as he is trying to deliver the baby animals to their new home. Throughout the short film the stork looks at the other clouds making cute nice animals for their stork to take. When he returns from delivering another of the grey clouds baby animals, the grey cloud presents to him what looks like a baby shark. That is when the stork has had enough and fly’s away from the grey cloud to another cloud. The grey cloud becomes angry and sad when his stork leaves him.
1. Target behavior is the sad cloud
2. The consequence is the stork leaving the cloud
3. This consequence should decrease the frequency of the cloud making animals that are displeasing for the stork to deliver.
4. The consequence involves the stroke leaving the cloud
5. The antecedent is on top of the cloud

B) Stork leaves cloud
C) Cloud cries
In this video Dexter is out on the playground and the kids are playing dodgeball. The bullies gang up on Dexter and he gets attacked with the balls. After the game Dexter goes home and creates a robot that will help him to win the dodgeball game and defeat the bullies. He then uses it the next day and takes out the bullies the way they beat him.
1. The target behavior is Dexter building a robot to help him be good at dodgeball
2. The consequence is that the robot helps Dexter defeat the bullies at dodgeball.
3. The consequence will increase Dexter's behavior of robot building to fight his problems because with the robot he was able to win
4. The consequence involves the addition of the robot
5. The antecedent was that Dexter was getting destroyed in a game of dodgeball
A: Dexter losing at dodgeball
B: Building a robot to help him win
C: Defeating the bullies at dodgeball
This is positive reinforcement because the addition of the robot to help Dexter win will make him more likely to build robots to solve other problems in the future as well.
1. The bullies are throwing dodgeballs at Dexter
2. Dexter builds a robot to beat them
3. Since the bullies are defeated easily by the robot they will be less likely to throw dodgeballs at Dexter
4. The consequence involves the addition of the robot into the game
5. The antecedent was that it was recess and they were playing a game of dodgeball
A: Recess time so they play dodgeball
B: The bullies throw all their dodgeballs at Dexter
C: The bullies are defeated by Dexter's Robot at a game of dodgeball
This is an example of positive punishment because it involves the addition of a robot into the dodgeball game that defeats the bullies and makes it less likely that they will target Dexter in the future.

This is a video is about kids on a school bus making the bus monitor cry. This video depicts children insulting the bus monitor, and verbally harassing her. These kids don't seem concerned for the bus monitors feelings, and continue to insult her when she cries. These kids thought it was apparently funny, as you can hear them laughing, and taking satisfaction in their word choice. This video is a staggering ten minutes long, with nothing more than insults, and put downs.
Example 1:
1. The TARGET BEHAVIOR is AGGRESSION (to make Karen, The Bus Monitor, EMITt a crying RESPONSE).
2. The CONSEQUENCE of this BEHAVIOR is Karen ELICITING crying, they think it is funny.
3. This CONSEQUENCE will increase the behavior because they want to make their friends laugh; so that they can be popular, therefore increasing the aggression against Karen.
4. This CONSEQUENCE involves the addition of the kids EMITTING laughter, which REINFORCES the kids to think they are funny. When she becomes obviously upset, they do not discontinue their assault, instead they take joy in her pain.
5. The ANTECEDENT is on the bus, after school.
A: On the bus, after school.
B: Kids are aggressive towards the bus monitor.
C: She cries.
This is an example of POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, because the kids want to make their friends laugh, and they want to show that they are alpha males. The one who makes his friends laugh the hardest, and gets Karen to cry ultimately wins the contest. The reason I chose this as a POSITIVE REINFORCER, was because they want Karen to cry, so being aggressive towards her will make her cry harder. I originally had laughter as the CONSEQUENCE, but changed it. Although, I think that would work too. Their aggression, would make them laugh harder.
Example 2:
1. The TARGET BEHAVIOR is AGGRESSION towards Karen, (they want to make her cry).
2. The CONSEQUENCE is getting her to emit a crying response.
3. The CONSEQUENCE is Karen ELICTING to reporting these children, and getting them suspended from the bus.
4. The CONSEQUENCE involves the ADDITION of the children getting suspended from the bus.
5. The ANTECEDENT is after Karen cries.
A: After Karen cries.
B. The kids get in trouble
C. They are suspended from the bus.
Getting suspended will INCREASE the behavior of the kids getting in trouble, and DECREASE the likely hood that the will EMIT such aggression towards another person. So, it is a NEGATIVE REINFORCER, because the behavior they were EMITTING will DECREASE due to their PUNISHMENT. Therefore, the behavior shown will become EXCTINCT.
--With EXTINCTION do you have to have EXTINCTION BURSTS, or because the EXTINCTION was due to a NEGATIVE REINFORCER their will be no EXTINCTION BURSTt; because they will become AVERSIVE to the previously EMITTED behavior?

The targeted behavior that illustrates the reinforced behavior is when the daughter Haley says “You promised I could go to the party tonight if I got a B on my test”. The parents were reinforcing Haley for her good behavior with the ability to attend her party that night if she emitted a good behavior of studying and receiving a good grade on her test. Because Haley received the B on her test, she is later reinforced and allowed to attend the party of her choice. The studying behavior and receiving the good grade will reinforce Haley to continue this behavior so she is able to attend parties of her choice in the future. This consequence involves the addition of the ability to go out and go to a party with her friends. The antecedent is studying for her test.
A: Studying for the test
B: Receiving a B on the test
C: Being able to go to the party
This is an example of positive reinforcement.
The targeted behavior that illustrates punishment is one of the homosexual couples stating that his travel gift wrap has “paid for itself” when the partner punishes him with a scold and a look of dishonestly. The partner was punishing the other partner for not really using the travel gift wrap. The consequence from this behavior is the scold and the dishonest feeling, and possibly not being able to buy other things similar in the future. This consequence will increase the behavior of using items that one buys, therefore not getting scolding looks and dishonest feelings. This consequence involves the removal of any purchases after this event. The antecedent is buying the travel gift wrap, an unnecessary item.

This clip is from the movie, The Emperors New Groove. This is the part where Yzma and Kronk are walking through the jungle looking for the Emperor, Cuzco. Yzma turned Cuzco into a llama on accident, because she was trying to kill him instead. So now they are looking for Cuzco so she can finish the job.
The target behavior is finding Cuzco. The consequence is while searching for Cuzco Yzma trips in the mud and is adversive to the squirrel. Because of the adversive behavior the squirrel will not talk to Yzma. The squirrel is removing his willingness to talk to Yzma and refuses to even be near her. This is punishment because now Yzma will not get the information she wants and she is more likely to elicit a kinder behavior to get information from animals from now on. The antecedent is walking through the jungle.
A=Walking through the jungle
B=Emitting a rude behavior towards the squirrel
C=Squirrel not helping

In this clip from a 2009 UNI Television Show named "Addictive Alternative," a local Cedar Falls rock band .Hazer is highlighted in promotion for their 2009 debut album release "Peach Fuzz." Lead Guitarist Ryan and Lead Vocalist Wes of .Hazer are featured in a sit down interview setting mixed in with an acoustic performance of "Scared." Viewers are entertained with music and anticipation thereof as the style of "Addictive Alternative" presents this piece of musical art as a song may, with intro, verse, timely bridges with musical background overtones building anticipation for final verse and song climax.
Here one could say that timing and structure of clip and music elicit anticipation from the listener/viewer and emit behavior of staying attentive and tuned into the music and message. Some parts of the feature song, "Scared," are deprived of the listener/viewer while reinforced by the intimate sit down interview interlude segments features direct conversation with the band members themselves.
Thus, while a .Hazer fan is punished by the breaks in live performance of "Scared," an Addictive Alternative viewer is reinforced by the talented interview stylings of the sit down interview mixed into the timing of the musical performance. The directional agents of Addictive Alternative utilize tasteful, creative styling of maintaining low volume inclusion of the live performance during the conversational breaks.
Also, this strategy beautifully creates establishing operations out of .Hazer live performance and .Hazer/Interviewer conversational pieces. Truly majestic intertwining of reinforcement and punishment, i feel, which could be the essence of 90s sound alternative music, which in itself elicits mixed feelings and emits incredible, passionate musical creations, I feel.

This video is about a young man who is taking an exam in a room with other students. The teacher at the front of the room tells the students they have on minute left. The young man is already done, so he takes out a scratch off ticket he had in his pocket. Then, the teacher tells everyone to put their pencils down and turn their exam in. The young man waited to turn his test in until he finished scratching off his scratch ticket. So, he turned his exam in after all of the other students were gone. When he takes the test up to the teacher he tells him that he is too late and was holding his pen past the time limit. So, he fails. The target behavior is for the student to turn in his test and put his pencil down right now he is told to. The consequence of this behavior is that the young man is told he will fail his exam. The consequence should decrease the likelihood of him doing this behavior again. This takes away his hard work and potentially good grade on his test.
A=Taking an exam
B= Turning it in late
C= Being told he failed
This is an example of negative reinforcement.
The second part of this clip is when the student asks the teacher if he knows who he is. The teacher responds saying he absolutely does not know who he is. The young man says good and put his test in the middle of the pile of exams from all the students who just took the exam too. The target behavior is for the young man to walk away and retake the exam or reason with the teacher. The consequence of his behavior is that he finds out the teacher does not know his name, which means he won’t know what exam is his exam. The consequence of this will probably increase the probability of the young man doing this again. The consequence involves him being able to turn in his exam and hopingly get a good grade. HE won’t have to take the exam again.
A= Being told he failed
B= Teacher does not know his name
C= Puts his exam in the middle of the pile
This is an example of positive reinforcement.

Here one could say that timing and structure of clip and music elicit anticipation from the listener/viewer and have opportunity to emit behavior of staying tuned in, while being reinforced by the intimate sit down interview interlude segments features direct convo with the band members themselves.
thus, while a .Hazer fan is punished by the breaks in live performance of "Scared," an Addictive Alternative viewer is reinforced by the talented interview stylings of the sit down interview blended masterfully into the timing of the musical performance. The directional agents of Addictive Alternative utilize tasteful, creative craft by
maintaining low volume inclusion of the live performance during the coverersational
breaks.
also, this strategy beautifully creates establishing operations out of .Hazer live performancemance
and .Hazer/interviewer conversational pieces. Truly majestic intertwinings of reinforcement and punishment, i feel, which could be the very essence of 90s and now 21st century sounds in alternative music, which in itself elicits mixed feelings and emits incredible, passsionate musical creations. If a viewer is satiated by this selected song, not to worry, for their is a rich reinforcement scheduled this fall 2012 in the release of .Hazer's much anticipated new full length album coming soon!

Watch the episode from 2:45-4:10.
This is a clip from the show Community, a sitcom about community college. In the section I've selected from this episode we see Brita act motherly toward Pierce, something he finds insulting due to her younger age.
REINFORCEMENT
1. Pierce choosing healthy food options is the target behavior.
2. The consequence of choosing the healthy option of broccoli is the subtraction of Brita's disappointed expression.
3. Pierce doesn't like when Brita stares at him like a disapproving mother, so he'll begin selecting the healthier options to try to elicit a positive response.
4. This example involves the removal something: Brita's disapproving look.
5. The antecedent is the school cafeteria.
A: Cafeteria
B: Eating healthy
C: Pleasant expression instead of foul one
This first part of the clip selected from this episode represents negative reinforcement.
PUNISHMENT
1. The target behavior is Brita's talking.
2. The consequence for Brita talking is Leonard blowing a raspberry.
3. Brita feels affronted and disrespected when Leonard interrupts her like a child, and will eventually stop talking to him if he continues to do so.
4. This act of punishment involves adding something: the annoying sound of the raspberry.
5. The antecedent is the school cafeteria, making this more embarassing for Brita. Therefore, the cafeteria is also an establishing operation, for it increases the effectiveness of the punisher on her behavior.
A: Cafeteria
B: Talking
C: Blown raspberry
This clip is an example of positive punishment.

2.The consequence of this behavior would be the dog would not receive the treat if he didn’t complete the command correctly
3.The consequence should decrease the frequency of the behavior and make the dog listen correctly when its told its command so it will receive a treat
4.The punishment involves a removal of the treat if the dog doesn’t perform the command correctly
5.The antecedent would be training the dog
A: Commanding your dog to sit
B: Dog doesn’t sit

In the storyline of Hocus Pocus, a whimsical film released on July 16, 1993, three witches are resurrected in Salem, Massachsetts. The witches hope to reign terror on a town that captured and executed them 300 years prior for practicing witchcraft. This clip illustrates various scenes from the film. As the video begins, Winifred Sanderson, Sarah Sanderson, and Mary Sanderson eagerly exit the house and scamper down the path. As they stumble upon a “black river,” they stop and realize they may not be able to cross, fearing it is too deep. Winnie and Mary then push Sarah into the unknown area, presumably so that she can “test the waters.” Sarah screams, as she does not know what to expect; things have changed over the past 300 years.
A target behavior I chose to “phocus” on is stopping to assess a possible danger when entering unknown/ once known/ forgotten/ reinvented territory. A consequence of this behavior is Sarah jumping on the “black river” (paved road) a few times as she seems relieved that she is not drowning or sinking. As the other two witches proceed with caution, they also realize that it is “firm as stone” and conclude that the “river” is in fact a road. A feeling of relief elicits behaviors of jumping and dancing. The witches seem to be reinforced by the safety of the situation, thus increasing their behavior to run along the street.
Antecedent: Since the Sanderson sisters have been removed from a particular town for 300 years, they are unaware of changes made during their absence.
Behavior: Stopping at the edge of the road to assess possible danger
Consequence: Jumping and dancing when it is concluded that the “river” is a road and safe to walk on.
This may be an example of positive reinforcement.
Terms used: Elicit, Behavior, Consequence, Reinforced, Safety
In another Hocus Pocus clip within the same video, the witches are shown within a present day Halloween party setting. In this clip, Winifred seems to be disgusted that the sacred holiday of All Hallow’s Eve has evolved into a commercialized sham. Winifred turns to Mary and Sarah and says, “Sisters, All Hallow’s Eve has become a night of frolic, where children wear costumes and run amok!”
Sarah laughs at the sound of the word “amok” and repeats it over and over, dancing around with a silly demeanor. Sarah’s lighthearted response to a seemingly detrimental situation elicits Winifred to emit a cruel act of striking Sarah in the stomach. The consequence of this behavior is Sarah buckling over in pain and uttering an agonizing response of “Ugh.”
The probability that Sarah Sanderson will mock Winifred’s concerns in the future is ostensibly low.
Antecendent: A present day Halloween party. (The sight of children running “amok” has Winifred feeling disgusted and she communicates this to her sisters)
Behavior: Sarah repeats the word “amok” over and over
Consequence: Winifred thumps Sarah in the stomach
This may be an example of negative punishment.

I love this class, it gives me the perfect excuse to watch old cartoons! Okay, so the clip I picked is actually half of an episode of The Rugrats called ‘Hurricane Alice’ (original aired February 2003). In this storyline, Tommy, Phil, and Lil are trying to keep Alice from turning the house upside down after hearing the adults talk about Hurricane Alice. The Alice they try to stop is a baby about their age who is the daughter of one of the adult’s friend how has stopped by to visit. There are a lot of behaviors in this clip but I will give the time in the clip that the behavior I am focusing on is shown.
Reinforcement
1) Like I said, because of the length of the clip there are many behaviors and repeats of behaviors that can be seen in this clip. For reinforcement I am going to focus on Tommy, Phil, and Lil when they open or ‘manipulate’ the emergency boxes that they find throughout the house. First found at time 04:34, and again at 05:36 and 07:44.
2) The consequence of their behavior is that they receive the supplies to stop Alice from turning the house upside down.
3) When they were able to stop Alice they (consequence) that made them emit the box opening behavior again to receive the same consequence.
4) The consequence involves the removal of Alice from the room so she could no longer destroy it.
5) The antecedent is Alice ‘turning the house upside down’ in one of the rooms of the house.
A = Bathroom
B = Opening the emergency box
C = Alice stopped destroying the room
I would have to say this is positive reinforcement because the babies were gaining supplies to help them stop Alice’s distractive behavior.
Punishment
1) I’m going to go with an easy one right at the beginning of the episode because it was very clear and to the point. Betty, the mother of the twins (Phil and Lil) trying to bake. It is from time 00:13 to 00:33.
2) The consequence of Betty trying to bake was that the house (which later only looks like the kitchen) is filled with black smoke. This is typically not a desired consequence and from the dialog from the clip it sounds like this happens often to this character.
3) Filling the house with smoke, having what you put in the oven be on fire, and not accomplishing the goal of baking something can all lead to a decrease in Betty’s desire to cook.
4) I’m going to go with adding because of all the smoke that’s a result from the burnt food.
5) The antecedent is in the kitchen, where a lot of cooking and baking happens.
A = The kitchen
B = Cooking/Baking
C = House fills with smoke
Aversive punishment, the smoke and fire were not desirable outcomes of trying to cook and it most likely greatly decreased the chances of Betty even attempting to cook again.

I chose an article from NPR’s music section from 2011 on Adele’s chart topping hit ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and how even though it was released in November of 2010, it did not reach its peak until summer of 2011. The article also focuses on another behavior, the TARGET BEHAVIOR of this article; taking summer chart toppers such as ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and remixing them into electronica and dubstep dance hits.
The TARGET BEHAVIOR is taking summer chart toppers and remixing them into electronica dance hits. The CONSEQUENCE of these DJs EMITTING this remixing behavior is that the songs become even bigger hits, if possible, and allows them to reach new markets and audiences. It will most likely increase the FREQUENCY of this remixing behavior because the song is ESTABLISHING OPERATION by already being a chart topper and now is being exposed to a whole new audience where this action is being greatly received. This CONSEQUENCE involves the addition of a new market and audience as well as obviously a new sound. The ANTECEDENT is this case is the song becoming a chart topper and ESTABLISHING OPERATION.
A=Song becoming chart topper on its own merits
B=Popular summer hits being remixed into electronica and dubstep hits
C=Song becomes even bigger and reaches new markets and audiences.
This is an example of positive POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT because you are taking something that is PLEASURABLE and adding a new spin on the sound letting more people become acquainted with the song. It definitely deals with ESTABLISHING OPERATION because most of the songs remixed have already topped the charts. It also deals with extinction in the fact that the song will eventually reach SATIATION and lose momentum in popularity.
Another behavior in the article is that of people emit a behavior of listening, buying, and downloading songs like Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and how they gradually gain popularity and become chart toppers. The song ELICITS a PLEASURABLE sound to many people. The REINFORCEMENT here is more and more people, usually peer groups, doing the same. The CONSEQUENCE here is the song gradually gains momentum in popularity among peer groups and on radio and video plays. The song eventually reaches its peak which is usually reaching number one on the charts. The CONSEQUENCE will increase the FREQUENCY of the behavior and then decrease the frequency of the behavior. First it will increase because the song will become popular and many people will really like it and listen to it often. It will be followed up by a decrease because as the song reaches SATIATION, the popularity will eventually go down. The CONSEQUENCE involves addition in the amount of people it will reach as it reaches peak popularity. It may also involve subtraction of people as it does reach SATIATION more and more people will tire of the song.
A=An artist, such as here with Adele, releases a track or song
B=People getting on the song’s bandwagon
C=The song gains huge popularity, more and more people are introduced to the song and it becomes a chart topper
This is an example of POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT because again you are taking something that is PLEASURABLE and providing more opportunities to experience the song. I believe it can also be seen as POSITIVE PUNISHMENT because again as the song reaches SATIATION, experiencing the song more frequently can be found very AVERSIVE. Finally it deals with EXTINCTION because it will eventually reach SATIATION and lose popularity, making way for the next big hit.

This clip shows a cat and a pigeon who happen to be housemates (so in the context of the cat doesn't want to eat the bird :)The cat is emitting a sleeping behavior while the pigeon is emitting a pecking behavior at the cats ears and face. In an extinction burst, the pigeon tries a certain rhythm of annoyance until that doesn't work and then tries something else until he ellicits the response of playing and waking behavior from the cat.
Reinforcement:
1) The target behavior is the pecking behavior from the pigeon
2) After an extinction burst the target behavior is then reinforced by the waking and playing response by the cat
3) The consequence of the positve reinforcement will increase the frequency of the pecking behavior.
4) The frequency of the pecking behavior will increase because of the consequence
5) The anticedent is that the cat and pigeon are housemates and the cat is sleeping
This is an example of positive reinforcement
A: Cat and Pigeon living in the same house, the cat is sleeping
B: Pigeon emits a pecking behavior
C: Target behavior elicits the cat to emit a waking response
Punishment:
1. The target behavior that is being punished is the sleeping behavior of the cat
2. The consequence is that the cat is being punished by the pigeons pecking behavior
3. The consequence will decrease the frequency of the behavior.
4.The consequence is the addition of the aversive stimulus of the pigeon pecking which acts as the punisher
5. The anticedent is that the cat is tired
This is an example of postive punishment
A. Cat is tired
B. Cat emits a sleeping behavior
C. The pigeon pecks at the cat

This is a clip from Sex and the City 2. A group is entering a red carpet event Samantha invited them to. When they enter, they see Samantha and Miley Cyrus are wearing the same dress. Things get awkward.
Carrie, Big, and their two friends emit the behavior of showing their bracelts to security and are then reinforced by being allowed in. The target behavior is the bracelt showing. Being let in is the reinforcer. This is a reinforcement procedure because it is pleasureable to be let on the red carpet and the fact that they had their bracelets on allowed this, therefore they will more frequently bring along their VIP bracelets (or whatever "passes")are needed. The security gaurd at the gate is the discrimitive stimuli, he asks to see the bracelts which elicited the behavior of them raising their hands to show the bracelets. You show your invite or pass to security gaurds in social settings. The addition was the allowed enterance. In consequence they experienced the positive valence of approval.
TERMINOLOGY: POSITIVE VALENCE, ELICITED, EMIT, REINFORCEMENT, REINFORCER, TARGET BEHAVIOR, DISCRIMITIVE STIMULI
A=Red Carpet Event.
B= Showing VIP bracelts.
C= Gaining access to the Red Carpet event.
Samantha emits the target behavior of wearing a very "young" dress to the event. She runs into Miley Cyrus who is wearing the same one and is embaressed in front of everyone. This is a punishment procedure because being embaressed is a negative valence which will cause her to decrease the frequencY of wearing teenage dresses to red carpet events. The punisher is the embaressment she experiences when the run in occurs.
A= being on the red carpet
B=wearinG a young dress.
C= being embaressed when she runs into a teenage movie star who is wearing the exact same one.
..which leads to a decreased frequency in dressing younger than her age.
Here the embaressment was added.

This clip is of three guys who try and push a car back, which is stuck on a curb. The guys push it into traffic and slowly back up so a car can pass. The car is on an incline, and the guys cant push the car once it starts rolling downhill. They let go so the car doesn't run over them and it coasts downhill into a car.
1) The behavior I am analyzing in this clip if of the three guys pushing the car.
2) The final consequence of the behavior is the car rolling downhill, BUT it was slightly reinforced throughout the process of pushing because they were making some progress.
3) The periodic reinforcement, the progress they made while pushing the car, would increase the behavior; they would keep trying to push it up hill. However, the final consequence of the car running into another car will make them to never try this again.
4) This final consequence involves the removal of pushing the car uphill.
5) The antecedent is getting your car stuck on a curb uphill.
A= getting your car stuck on a curb uphill
B= Pushing it out of the curb and onto flat ground
C= Failing, and having the car rolling downhill into another car.
This is negative punishment
A=getting your car stuck on a curb uphill
B= Pushing it out of the curb and onto flat ground.
C= Slowly making progress
This is positive reinforcement
