Chapter 18: Positive Punishment Procedures and the Ethics of Punishment (Miltenberger Textbook)

Описание: Chapter 18: Positive Punishment Procedures and the Ethics of Punishment

In this chapter, we’re tackling one of the most debated topics in ABA: Positive Punishment and the Ethics of Its Use, based on Miltenberger’s Behavior Modification: Principles and Procedures Textbook (7th Edition).

In under 20 minutes, you’ll explore key procedures like contingent exercise, guided compliance, overcorrection, positive practice, response blocking, restitution, and physical restraint, while understanding the ethical boundaries and decision-making processes behind their implementation.

We’ll break down punishment by aversive activity versus aversive stimulation, and highlight when and why positive punishment should be used as a last resort.
You’ll also learn the Hook–Example–Ethics Ladder model, showing how to pair accountability, consent, and compassion in ethical decision-making.
