Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavior of lending money to your brother has been negatively reinforced because it has resulted in the removal of a negative stimulus (disliking doing housework) through the exchange of money for household chores. This increases the likelihood that you will lend him money again in the future in exchange for him doing household chores.
