 more stuff. Add a discriminative stimulus for the punisher, an SDP, a discriminative stimulus for a punisher. Make the rule and make it known. So if you engage in X, you will get in trouble. You have a student handbook. That's exactly what this is about. If you cheat, you get a zero, you get kicked out of school, done. That's the rule for plagiarism. There's just like, no, that's the rule. So don't plagiarize. I remember classrooms growing up. We had teachers that put some rules on the board and they put a lot of rules on the walls. I remember one, we had alarm fuzzies and cold pricklies. Cold pricklies, it was a bad statement or a mean statement. It would get you in trouble. If you did those, you would lose recess or you would lose or you would get sent to the principal's office or something like that. But the idea is make it clear what the punisher is. So if we go back to the dog example in my buddy with the dog getting on the couch, he was a discriminative stimulus for punishment. So the dog would get off the couch when he came home to avoid getting the pun... or get off the couch as soon as he heard him come home so the dog wouldn't get punished. So make a rule and make it known. It works a lot better. Punish immediately. Don't wait for hours and hours and hours. You may be punishing desirable behavior. I think your book goes over an interesting example of this, but you can think about a dog that poops in the house or something during the day. Then you come home. The dog approaches you at the door, greets you and says, hi, how are you? Yeah, dogs don't say that, but you get the idea. The dog greets you, gets all excited. And then you smell the poo at the same time and you punish the dog. Well, guess what? You didn't punish the dog for pooping. You punished the dog for greeting you. Now, again, reinforcers are going to win out so the dog may continue to show up and greet you, but you're likely punishing it for actually showing up and greeting you at the door and not punishing it for pooping. So catch them in the act and punish immediately. That's the idea. Unlike reinforcement, continuous schedules are best. With punishment, every single time the behavior happens, get rid of it. Punish stop the behavior. Why? Well, because if you don't, then you have set up an intermittent reinforcement situation. And as you know about intermittent reinforcement, it's more powerful than continuous reinforcement. So intermittent punishment really is intermittent reinforcement. Sometimes I'm getting punished for it. Sometimes I'm getting reinforced for it. And that's going to backfire dramatically. So if you're going to punish something, punish it every single time. Don't allow somebody to get away with it now. And then, well, next time I'm going to punish you. And then after that, you get away with it this time and so on and so forth. You're just going to actually strengthen the behavior when you do that.
