SDp - 40 Hour RBT® Online Training

SDp

SDp refers to a discriminative stimulus for punishment. It is a specific stimulus in the presence of which a particular behavior is likely to be punished. When an individual encounters this stimulus, they learn that engaging in a certain behavior will result in an aversive consequence, which decreases the likelihood of that behavior occurring in the future.

Example

A child learns that touching a hot stove (SDp) will result in pain (punishment), making it less likely that the child will touch the stove when it is on again.
