Detailed explanation-1: -Finally the parents can’t stand it any more so they pick her up and walk her. The baby is quiet while being held. Are the parents likely to continue to pick up the baby when she cries? Negative reinforcement strengthens behavior by removing or escaping an unpleasant event, in this case crying.
Detailed explanation-2: -Positive reinforcement is a process that strengthens the likelihood of a particular response by adding a stimulus after the behavior is performed. Negative reinforcement also strengthens the likelihood of a particular response, but by removing an undesirable consequence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Punishment. As a reminder, punishment is a consequence that immediately follows a behavior and decreases the future likelihood of the behavior. As with reinforcement, there are two types of punishment: positive and negative.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: All of the following are examples of reinforcement schedules EXCEPT: b) fixed intermittent. Fixed intermittent is not an example of a reinforcement schedule because “intermittent” is not a part of any reinforcement schedule.
Detailed explanation-5: -While positive reinforcement uses a desirable consequence to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated, negative reinforcement removes an unpleasant condition after the behavior is displayed, in order to increase its future occurrence (Dozier, Foley, Goddard, & Jess, 2019).
