Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Response-contingent reinforcement refers to a reinforcement (reward) given only when a particular response is made, meaning that the reinforcement is contingent or dependent on that particular response. This is the opposite of non-contingent reinforcement, where rewards are given regardless of the child's behavior. A is incorrect because cue-dependent reinforcement is a type of non-contingent reinforcement where rewards are given based on the presence of certain environmental cues or stimuli rather than contingent on the child's behavior. B is incorrect because negative attention-seeking refers to a child's behavior where they seek attention through negative behaviors such as tantrums or acting out, and does not relate to reinforcement. C is incorrect because successive approximation is a technique where a behavior is gradually shaped or modified through small steps or approximations, but it is not specifically related to reinforcement.
