Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Elise’s car has an annoying buzzer that sounds until the seat belt is snapped into place. Elise always puts on her seatbelt as soon as she gets in the car. She has learned this behavior through:

A	conditioned response
B	negative reinforcement
C	positive reinforcement
D	punishment

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -1. A classic example of negative reinforcement is the beeping noise your car makes when you haven’t buckled your seat belt. The car makes this beeping noise in order to increase the likelihood of you buckling your seatbelt (so, buckling your seatbelt is the desired behavior).

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive punishment is when you add a consequence to unwanted behavior. You do this to make it less appealing. An example of positive punishment is adding more chores to the list when your child neglects their responsibilities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Negative punishment is the opposite of positive punishment. It’s when you take something away from the child until the unwanted behavior changes. An easy example of negative punishment is taking away some sort of toy from the child if they are not staying on task or performing the preferred behavior.
