Which statement about the consequences of behavior is True?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reward or incentive for desired behavior, whereas negative reinforcement involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus for desired behavior. Both forms of reinforcement increase the likelihood of desired behavior, so option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because negative reinforcement actually increases the likelihood of desired behavior, not decreases it. Option B and D are both incorrect because they reverse the effects of positive and negative reinforcement on behavior.
