This question asks, which of the following processes would increase the likelihood of a behavior? extinction, negative punishment, positive punishment, or avoidance learning.
00:11
So in this situation, we want to increase the likelihood that a particular behavior will occur.
00:19
So negative punishment and positive punishment for that matter will decrease the likelihood for a behavior to occur.
00:35
Because this is punishment.
00:37
Punishment is going to be a decrease in behavior.
00:41
That's the probable outcome.
00:44
Negative versus positive refers to the fact that in negative punishment, we are going to be removing a stimulus that will then decrease the likelihood for a behavior to occur.
00:59
So perhaps we are going to remove something that is going to be an appetitive stimulus, something that is good that the subject sees as something that they would want, and we're going to remove that.
01:12
Versus in positive punishment, we are inflicting something.
01:14
So we are going to present an aversive stimulus.
01:18
However, since we said that we want to increase the likelihood of a behavior to occur and not decrease, punishment would be the incorrect answer to choice.
01:26
Extinction is going to be used to also decrease the likelihood of a behavior...
