Nick:
Fair enough, it just seems way too much like punishment to me. Because the child has already experienced the negative consequences of her actions.

In that case, you'd have to think both examples would be correct.

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.

yeah, but the teacher is also removing the aversive stimulus of failing.

yes, but the childs actions are what remove the negatives.
it seems that the childs actions of apologising are more of an operant than the action of putting the child in the corner

Odette:
I don't care what you all think Qn 38 is D. :)
There no questions asked :P

jeremykleeman:
Is it punishment when the desirable response (apologising) is strengthened?

Galelleo:
nah, the response in question (misbehaviour) is weakened.
