Question

10 multiple choice 1 point ms. dawson took away her students recess time because they were not working during study hall. positive punishment (application) negative reinforcement (removal) positive reinforcement (application) negative punishment (removal)

Explanation:

• Positive Punishment: Involves adding an aversive stimulus to decrease a behavior. Here, taking away recess (removing a pleasant stimulus) is not positive punishment.
• Negative Reinforcement: Removes an aversive stimulus to increase a behavior. But the goal here is to decrease the behavior of not working (so it's not reinforcement).
• Positive Reinforcement: Adds a pleasant stimulus to increase a behavior. Not relevant as the action is about decreasing a behavior.
• Negative Punishment (Removal): Removes a pleasant stimulus (recess time) to decrease an unwanted behavior (not working during study hall). This matches the scenario.

Answer:

Negative Punishment (Removal)
