Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sieta's compliance is response contingent, meaning it is dependent on her daughter saying "Please" before making her request. The other options are not applicable in this scenario. The conditioned stimulus refers to a neutral stimulus that becomes associated with a response through conditioning, and there is no example of that in this situation. A token refers to a tangible or intangible reward used in a token economy, which is not mentioned here. A negative reinforcer would involve removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior, which is not the case here.
