2 KINDS OF REINFORCEMENT

28
Q

OCCURS WHEN SOMETHING UNPLEASANT IS ADDED TO THE SITUATION/APPLIED (SPANKING, SCOLDING, UNPLEASANT STIMULUS)

A

PUNISHMENT BY APPLICATION

34
Q

“GROUNDING”TEENAGERS IS REMOVING THE FREEDOM, WHAT PUNISHMENT?

A

PUNISHMENT BY REMOVAL

35

SEVERE PUNISHMENT

36
Q

MAY CAUSE CHILD/ANIMAL TO AVOID THE PUNISHER INSTEAD OF THE BEHAVIOR BEING PUNISHED = CHILD/ANIMAL LEARNS THE WROOG RESPONSE

47
Q

IN OPERANT CONDITIONING IVOLVES THE REMOVAL OF THE REINFORCEMENT
