Assignment: Operant Conditioning
Reinforcement vs Punishment
For each example below identify the type of consequence. Remember, in each case a consequence is
something which follows a behavior. Consequences may increase or decrease the likelihood (in the future)
of the behavior that
they follow. For example:

PR (positive reinforcement) - something good is presented, which encourages the behavior in the future
NR (negative reinforcement) - something bad is removed or avoided, which encourages the occurrence of
the behavior

. PP (positive punishment) - something bad is presented, which discourages the behavior in the future.

NP (negative punishment) - something good is removed, which discourages the behavior in the future.
_PR___ Police stop drivers and give them a prize if their seatbelts are buckled; seat belt
use increases in town.
__NP__ A basketball player who commits a flagrant foul is removed from the game; his
fouls decrease in later games.
__PP__ A soccer player rolls her eyes at a teammate who delivered a bad pass; the
teammate makes fewer errors after
that.
___PR_ The annoying child jumps up and down, hand raised, yelling "Me, me, me!" until
the teacher calls on her. The child jumps and yells even more in the future.
__PR__ After a good workout in physical therapy, hospital patients are given ice cream
sundaes. They work harder in
later sessions.
__NR__ Homeowners who re-cycle get to deduct 5% from their utility bill. Recycling increases
after this program
begins.
__PP__ After receiving a DWI, drivers are forced to attend an Alcohol Education
Program. The drivers are less likely to drink and drive later.
__NP__ After Jodi flirted with someone else at the party, her boyfriend stopped talking
to her. Jodi didn't flirt at the next party.

harder.
