Are you in the ABA field? Are you training others in ABA or working towards your RBT® or BCBA® certification? Then this FREE series is for you! We will be sharing a simple video every week explaining an ABA concept, so be on the lookout!

This video discusses the difference between positive and negative punishment.

ABC contingencies are a great review. Remember to use the 1, 2, 3 method when breaking down scenarios.
1. What is the behavior?
2. Was something added or taken away?
3. Did the behavior increase or decrease in the future?

Remember, we learn about punishment so that we can recognize it and exhaust all reinforcement options before considering.
