Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Indicate your answer using the codes given below :
Assertion (A) : If your teacher embarrasses you for asking a question in class, it is less likely that you would ask questions in class in future.
Reason (R) : Negative reinforcement reduces the occurrence of a behaviour.
Codes :
Answer: C
Assertion (A) is true: when a teacher embarrasses a student for asking a question, the behaviour of asking is followed by an unpleasant consequence, which is punishment, and it makes the behaviour less likely in future. Reason (R) is false, because negative reinforcement is the removal of an unpleasant stimulus after a response, and it increases, not reduces, the occurrence of the behaviour; it is punishment that reduces the behaviour. The answer is (A) is true, but (R) is false.
