LOL, asumed he meant NOT passing the subject :P

If the person is given the opportunity to pass, they are AVOIDING or REMOVING the negative stimulus of passing their subject.

Getting the girl to say sorry isn't removing or avoiding any unpleasant stimulus.

I like passing my subjects.

Guess he means negative stimulus of failing their subject. I put C too. Having to sit in a corner and say 'I'm sorry' seems more like a punishment to me. It doesn't say that 'saying sorry' means that the aversive stimulus of sitting in the corner is removed.

EDIT: never mind. It says 'making the child sit in the corner until they say 'I'm sorry.' But isn't the key thing there 'making the child sit in the corner?' which is a punishment? Even though saying 'I'm sorry' is negative reinforcement in that it allows them to get out of the corner, the act of actually making them sit in the chair until they say sorry is a punishment, isn't it?

jeremykleeman:
i put 38D as being in the corner (unpleasant) is removed when they perform the desired behaviour (apologising) hence negative reinforcement. Allowing somebody to sit an exam is positive reinforcement! Sitting an exam with the motive to try hard not to fail would be negative reinforcement.

Timtasticle:
But I know what you mean. I also put C for qn 38; but now I think I'm wrong.

Sitting in the corner would be a negative stimulus, and upon the child exhibiting the desired behaviour (apologising) the negative stimulus is removed.

yeh :D

Apologising removes the negative stimulus, and increases the strength and likelihood of apologising again (which can probably be associated with good behaviour in general) , or repenting or whatever.
