Exam :)
Nick:
Allowing them to sit their exam isn't positive reinforcement at all.
In that case, you'd have to think both examples would be correct.
Galelleo:
I know, i understand why you think C. I just still think D is a better example because it clearly defines the aversive stimulus, and then shows how its taken away to provide a positive consequence.
Nick:
Thats true, but why wouldn't it say, "the girl says "I am sorry" after being forced to sit in the corner?
Galelleo:
it says "making a child sit in the corner until they say "I am sorry""
but it is confusing, true... because it shows them ADDING the aversive stimulus (Suggesting punishment) and THEN shows them taking it away... i dont know :S

I disagree, the teacher is giving the student a second chance at their exam, which presumably the student wants to sit (doesn't matter why they want to - in this case to avoid failure). The important thing is the TEACHER is allowing the student a second chance, hence giving positive reinforcement to the student.
