Generalized conditioned punisher (GCSP)

A type of conditioned punisher that has been paired with many unconditioned and conditioned punishers.

Hint: The thing about a frown is that it’s been paired with a lot of bad stuff. That’s what makes it generalized, its association with an unlimited number of other punishers.

Examples: Frowns, pouts, head shakes, finger wags.
