mary is a teacher who likes to use lots of praise in her classroom. which of the following best describes the principle mary is using?
positive reinforcement
negative reinforcement
extinction
punishment

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement involves adding a desirable stimulus (like praise) to increase a behavior. Mary using praise in class to encourage behavior fits this. Negative reinforcement removes an undesirable stimulus, extinction reduces behavior by removing reinforcement, and punishment decreases behavior with an undesirable stimulus—none match as well as positive reinforcement.

Answer:

A. Positive reinforcement
