Below is a set of references pertinent
to Positive
Practice.
All refs are once again taken from Biblio-Refs (click on
"Download" above). And again, Biblio-Refs contains many
more references on subjects relevant to positive practice, restitution,
overcorrection, and punishment. May we again suggest that you download Win95 Biblio-Refs:
It is absolutely unique and truly indispensable for graduate students,
researchers, and professors alike. Enjoy and have a fine day! (P.S.: Review this and all STEPPE/Hedbring reference lists often;
they are in constant flux as new literature is uncovered, recommended, or
encountered. We are all in this together, so please be quick and eager to point
out errors or additional literature you find compelling. Thank you.) Definition:
Positive practice is a component of overcorrection (itself a form of contingent
punishment). Specifically, positive practice involves "repeatedly
practicing an appropriate behavior" (e.g., cleaning dirty tables after
meals, IF the inappropriate behavior was throwing food at the meal). Source:
