Which consequence is correctly matched with an example of it?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative reinforcement occurs when a behavior is strengthened by removing an unpleasant stimulus. In this example, Jeff puts up his umbrella to remove the unpleasant stimulus of getting wet, which strengthens the behavior of using an umbrella.

(Note: The other options are not correctly matched. Positive reinforcement involves adding a desirable stimulus to strengthen behavior, while Harvey's suspension is an example of positive punishment which involves adding an undesirable stimulus to weaken behavior. Positive punishment is also incorrectly matched with Jacqueline's sticker, which is an example of positive reinforcement. Negative punishment involves removing a desirable stimulus to weaken behavior, and Tommy's written reprimand is an example of this.)
