Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive punishment is the addition of an aversive stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior recurring. In this case, Laurel's mother yelling at her is an aversive stimulus to decrease the likelihood of Laurel stealing in the future.

The other options are incorrect because:
A) Vickie is using positive reinforcement (adding a desirable stimulus) to increase the likelihood of applying lotion in the future. 
B) Ella's parents are using negative punishment (removing a desirable stimulus) by taking away her car keys to decrease the likelihood of breaking curfew in the future. 
D) Maddie is receiving positive reinforcement (adding a desirable stimulus) for her behavior, not negative punishment.
