Ms. Castello has tried several configurations for students to practice the Spanish conversations they memorize in the book. Students seem to enjoy the task most when they work in pairs around the classroom, and they dread the task when they are required to perform in front of the class. How might Ms. Castello use this information to provide negative reinforcement?

Answer:Remove the requirement to perform in front of the class since students seems to enjoy and perform well in pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Skinner in operant conditioning , negative reinforcement is a reinforcement in which we remove or stop an aversive stimulus in order to enforce or strengthen a behavior or response. Aversive stimuli is that stimuli which has a tendency of making us physcally or psychologically uncomfortable.

When an aversive stimuli is removed then our behavior has been negatively reinforced. An action is taken in advance in order to prevent a negative outcome.
