Response cost involves removing a desired item or activity following undesired behavior. In this scenario, Mom took away the video game system as a consequence of the brothers fighting over it, which is an example of response cost. Aversive conditioning involves pairing an unpleasant stimulus with undesired behavior in order to decrease the likelihood of the behavior occurring again. Negative reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus following desired behavior to increase the likelihood of the behavior happening again. Response chaining involves breaking down a complex behavior into smaller steps and teaching each step individually. None of these seem to apply to the scenario described.
