 I think we'll start this out with an example of what the Helper Chain is going to have to eat. I wonder why I'm a bit loud. Grabbed by the function. Yeah. In order to understand this. So what's that level even for? So now I can no longer get to my bookers. It starts out the punishment lecture by laughing and lets you a little bit dark. Yeah. Sorry. Folks, it's a fun day here on psychore. Why? Because we're talking about the types of positive punishment. The first one is reprimands. Don't you ever watch another channel but ours ever? Never again will you watch another channel. Just ours. Ours only. Only ours. Don't do it. Actually, it's quite okay. I'm just giving you an example. What a reprimand is, that's a type of positive punishment. Why? Because I'm adding something to reduce your anger. See, my kids love it when I get into my verbal reprimands because they know that I'm acting. So it's completely ineffective at this point. So although the reprimands can be positive punishers. It's only the case if the behavior reduces. Right? So I kind of forgot to tell you what the video is about. Sorry, it's getting all intense in here. So the video is about the different types of positive punishers and the different types of punishments. There's a lot of them, folks. So reprimands is obviously one of them. That's pretty cool. Let's see. What's some other ones? Oh, response blocking. This is one of my favorites. I always tell a story about a cat. Okay. So this cat. There's a friend of mine's cat. It was your cat. I don't remember which one of your cats, but it was one of your cats. He had a lot of cats at the time. So, but I was cooking dinner at their house and the cat liked to jump on from the counter over to the, to the stove. I don't quite approve of cats being on the stove on cooking. They get hurt. They get hair in the food and all that stuff. So I think it was ashes. I can't remember. So ashes are standing or cats, you know, they shake their butt, get ready to jump. He's shaking his butt and I'm looking at him. I'm making my pasta because it was good. Anyway, so I was making my pasta sitting there. You don't make pasta like that, but whatever. So I wasn't doing anything. I was just watching the water boil. Anyway, so I'm making the pasta and I look at ashes and he looks over here and I look back at ashes and I go, response blocking. And the cat immediately jumps. Right? So the cat jumps to come over there and I go, and I stuck out my hands. I didn't catch him. I didn't punch him. Um, ashes is a good boy. It was a good boy. Anyway, I didn't hurt the cat, but I prevented his response from completing. Okay. In other words, um, from that point on, anytime I was cooking dinner, ashes never jumped from the counter to the, to the stove ever. Um, again, so I think it was effective. I blocked the response from occurring. Here's, you know, this is it. Oh, you bastard. I've had enough. No, I'm not going to get you good. That's reprimands with response. Oh, all right. So you can combine these things. Sounds a little weird, but it works. All right. So I was trying to attack myself, but I was stopping myself. So I'm blocking the response from occurring. It's trying to squeeze my face off, but it's not going to make it. Okay. And plus I'm reprimanding it. So two for one. All right. Um, so anyway, those are a couple of types. How to know whether there's some other ones. Oh, we can hit you with some electricity. Right. Um, so I don't know why because I have powers in my fingers. So if there's anything there, it's because we added it and after effects, I didn't really do anything in real life. Um, if there's nothing there, it's because we couldn't figure out how to add it and after effects. And I just got rather punishing. So it was, and just gave up. So, um, let's, which would be an example of response blocking. See, you can have a lot of fun with punishment. Just, um, just ask some of those old school behavior analysts. Um, anyway, uh, let's see. So contingent electric shock. That's a classic example of punishment. Um, it works pretty well. Um, not that it's ethical or anything, but I suppose it's got its uses. Um, I've never been in a scenario where I had to use electric shock, not with my children, not with my family members, not even with my students, which you might be surprised about. But I think I've done it to myself, but I've habituated to it to teach people what habituation is about. So I can like totally grab on to like those electric shock things for the operant chambers and give a lecture on it, which you might imagine doesn't affect my behavior at all. Um, so contingent electric shocks. Not a contingent exercise. This is one that, man, man. Um, back, back a long, long time ago, um, in basic training, we had a lot of contingent exercise. Uh, that contingent exercise was basically, you had to bust your butt, work really, really hard whenever you did something wrong. Um, and all of us did. So there's some other pieces there. Let's see what else. Overcorrection, right? There's two types. Overcorrection. You got restitutional overcorrection. And we have a positive practice overcorrection. I love to use overcorrection with my kids. Um, my favorite is on my teenager, slams the car door. And when she did, she doesn't do it anymore. But I think because of the procedure work, she was torquey one day. She spoons that car door, smash. And she comes storming inside. I don't know what she was mad about. There was a cloud or something like that. Who knows? Anyway, so she was torquey and I'm like, go try it again. What are you talking about? Go try it again. Shut the door properly without slamming it. Click. And again. Click. And again. Click. And again. Click. And again, I take things a bit too far. Sometimes I think I took this just a little too far. I think I had her probably do it like 12 or 14 times. She was laughing by the time she was done with it. But to be fair, I don't believe she's ever really slammed that car door again. Now we could have done restitutional overcorrection, which is where I would have had her click shut the door after she slammed it, right? So do it the right way. But put the environment back to better than what it was when you started. In other words, that it made her clean the car in the process, right? So if she did some damage to it or something like that, I'd make her fix it. Or maybe she got her gooey little fingerprints on my clean paint. Maybe that would make her clean the paint. Restitutional overcorrection or fixing the environment, right? Oh, one that people forget about. I don't know why we don't talk about much. Spankings. All right? So not that we're going to be doing that to people. All right? This is a pretty intense spanking. Right? So I'm not saying go out there and spank people or punch them, but it's an example of positive punishment. I can't be positive because it's not a good thing. Forget your f***ing moral compass for a minute and just focus on what the words mean. Positive means something added. I added that, all right? So my hands are getting a little sore. So I'm going to reduce the behavior. I'm not going to do that much for the rest of the video and hopefully it's an effective punisher. See? Positive punishment reduces the behavior. Contingent exercise. Electrical stimulation. So hopefully by now you've figured out that we put all these things over here for you and we kind of scroll through and just let them go as I rambled on and did these stories. Reprimands. I don't know what else, folks. I'm basically anytime you add some ooo noxious smells, you can add a horrific smell to the environment, right? Headaches, noises, all sorts of things that were added to reduce the behavior. I don't know what to tell you other than the fact that this list can kind of go on forever depending on how you start to define stuff. And if you're just giving examples or general categories, but the most important thing about punishment and all these examples is that if you're not seeing a reduction in behavior then what you're doing is probably not effective. It's not a punishment. So keep that in mind and also as I always say with punishment, build the response you want. Don't just punish the one you don't want because let's teach these people how to function in the real world. So anyway, that's enough of the spanking and punching and kicking and shocking and reprimanding and over-correcting for today I do believe and that does conclude our punishment series. We haven't quite figured out what reinforces us here at PsyCore, but we know one thing's for certain that you could probably, maybe, possibly do some reinforcement for us by liking, subscribing and sharing. It might keep the videos coming because who knows, it's a pretty damn thin schedule that we're on and who knows when we're going to reach that extinction break point and it just starts to go downhill. I don't know when that's going to happen. So prevent it. Please.
