Which situation does NOT exemplify the concept of reinforcement?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reinforcement involves increasing the likelihood of a behavior by adding a positive outcome or removing a negative one. Choices A, B, and D all describe scenarios where a behavior is encouraged due to a positive outcome or the avoidance of a negative one. Choice C, however, describes a situation where a behavior (ending a camping trip) is motivated by the desire to escape an unpleasant situation, which is an example of negative reinforcement, but in the context of the question which asks for a scenario that does NOT exemplify reinforcement, it is more accurately described as an example of punishment (ending an activity to stop an unpleasant experience) rather than reinforcement.
