Which of the following increases the future probability of behaviour by removing a negative stimulus after the desired behaviour occurs?
A)Intrinsic motivators
B)Extinction
C)Positive reinforcement
D)Negative reinforcement
E)Punishment

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative reinforcement involves removing a negative stimulus after the desired behavior occurs, which increases the future probability of that behavior. In contrast, positive reinforcement involves presenting a positive stimulus to increase the probability of behavior. Extinction involves ignoring a behavior to decrease its future probability, while punishment involves presenting a negative stimulus to decrease the probability of behavior. Intrinsic motivators are internal factors that drive behavior.
