Punishment is an acceptable therapeutic intervention if you cannot block delivery of the reinforcer

A. True

Punishment can be considered an acceptable therapeutic intervention in situations where it is not possible to block the delivery of the reinforcer for the problem behavior. However, it should be used ethically, judiciously, and typically after other interventions have been attempted and shown to be ineffective. It is important to ensure that the punishment is administered in a way that is humane and with the individual’s best interest in mind.
