Explanation / Answer

Question 28 - Option C ( punishment by removal )

In order for any procedure to be considered punishment in terms of behavior, there must be a decreased frequency, duration, or intensity in the future occurrence of the behavior. Punishment by contingent removal of a stimulus (reinforcer) is also known as negative punishment or Type II punishment. This type of punishment occurs in two principle forms: time-out from positive reinforcement and response cost.

With time-out from positive reinforcement the individual loses access to positive reinforcement for a specified period of time. Here Liz loses access to Video games for a month.

Question 29 - Option B ( Applied evrytime the unwanted behavior occurs )

Question 30 - Option C ( Learned helplessness ) It is a condition in which a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness, arising from a traumatic event or persistent failure to succeed. It is thought to be one of the underlying causes of depression.

Question 31 - Option D ( Discovery Learning ) Discovery learning is an inquiry-based, constructivist learning theory that takes place in problem solving situations where the learner draws on his or her own past experience and existing knowledge to discover facts and relationships and new truths to be learned.
