Spanking is a form of ________; time-out is a form of ________.

positive punishment/negative punishment

negative reinforcement/positive reinforcement

negative punishment/positive punishment

positive reinforcement/negative reinforcement

Respuesta :

negative punishment/ positive punishment

Answer: negative punishment/positive punishment

Explanation: First of all we are going to explain the difference between punishment and reinforcement. The punishment tries to weakens the person's response while the reinforcement intends to strengthen and increase it. If we take this into account we can conclude that spanking and time-out are two ways of punishment. Spanking involves physical punishment and it is the main cause why it is a negative punishment. Time-out is a positive method of behavioural modification because it takes the person out if the problematic environment and gives him/her some time to think about the conflict.
