guided competency
social competency
social contextual

Explanation:

• First question: In reinforcement theory, punishment is removing a desirable stimulus (like an extra break) to decrease a behavior (disruptive behavior). Positive reinforcement adds a desirable stimulus. Negative reinforcement removes an aversive stimulus. Extinction is withholding reinforcement.
• Second question: Behavior modification uses reinforcement principles (like rewards/punishments) to change behavior. Information - processing is about how info is encoded/retrieved. Goal - setting is about setting goals. Expectancy is about effort - performance - reward beliefs.
• Third question: Guided - competency learning focuses on well - defined skills (lecture/online). Social - competency is about social skills. Social - contextual and guided - contextual are not standard terms here.

Answer:

• First question: punishment
• Second question: reinforcement theory
• Third question: Guided competency
