Question

What principle of learning is Mayra demonstrating when she tells her daughter that she does not have to do the dishes for a week because she did so well on her weekly spelling test at school

Answer 1

Positive Reinforcement

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mayra has rewarded her daughter from doing the dishes after her success on her spelling grades, then She wishes her daughter's behavior to be recurrent. So releasing her from home duty is what Skinner calls stimulus, in his Operant Conditioning.

Answer 2

Answer:Negative reinforcement

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative reinforcement is based on operant conditioning theory. In negative reinforcement a positive behavior is enhanced by taking away a negative outcome or eliminating an aversive stimulus.

Aversive stimuli is everything that brings someone physcally or psychologically discomfort.

Negative reinforcement then means someone is able to avoid aversive stimuli prior to its occurrence. It is like taking prevention rather cure so you eliminate what ever can bring you a negative outcome before the negative outcome occurs.
