Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The red marbles act as secondary punishers because they are conditioned to represent negative consequences. They are extrinsic as they come from the external environment, not from the natural consequences of the behavior. They are generalized because they can be used in various situations to indicate undesired behavior, making all the options correct.
