Respuesta :

(C) positive reinforcement / negative reinforcement

Positive Reinforcement.

It is appending response to generate an acknowledgment. For instance, joining a feast will improve the acknowledgment of convening; appending praise will enhance the possibilities of your kid cleaning their bed-room.

Negative Reinforcement. It is described as exercising something in a contrary way to enhance response. For instance, After agonizing to the person's friends about the nagging, he certainly one day completes the responsibility and to his astonishment, the nagging ends.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. positive punishment/ negative punishment.

Explanation:

As we can see, both forms are punishments, since it can be deduced that both forms are aversive to the receiver.

Let's define both types of punishment:

  • A positive punishment refers to receiving an aversive stimulus in order to reduce certain conduct.
  • A negative punishment refers to the removal of a desired stimulus to reduce certain conduct.

From the definition we can conclude that:

  • Spanking is giving an aversive stimulus, which makes a child stop a certain behavior in the future, making it a positive punishment.
  • Time out is the removal of the child's free time (the desired stimulus), making it a negative punishment.
