Response block Physically intervening to interrupt and prevent a response from occurring. Hint: When the behavior is prevented from occurring by the addition of the thing that “blocks” it, it cannot occur and therefore cannot contact reinforcement. 5th Edition Task ListG-16 Use positive and negative punishment (e.g., time-out, response cost, overcorrection). 6th Edition TCOG.17 Design and evaluate positive and negative punishment (e.g., time-out, response cost, overcorrection).
