Question

Ms. Castillo has tried several configurations for students to practice the Spanish conversations they memorize in the book. Students seem to enjoy the task most when they work in pairs around the classroom and dread the task when they are required to perform in front of the class. How might she use this information to provide negative reinforcement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Abolish the the necessity for performing in front of the class if the students perform better in pairs

Explanation:

Negative reinforcement has to do with removing or preventing a negative outcome or repulsive stimulus in order to strengthen a behavior. However negative does not mean it is disadvantageous but rather implies something is being subtracted. It shouldn't be confused with punishment as the aim of punishment is to make the behavior being castigated put to a stop while negative reinforcement attempts to make the behavior being negatively reinforced occur more frequently.
