Answer 2

An example of the Premack principle would be if you did not like to study for psychology, so you decide that you will only go to the mall (a behavior that you enjoy) after you have spent 2 hours studying.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Premack principle, a behavior that is preferred - something that you enjoy - can be used as a reward/reinforcement for less preferred behaviors. Through several studies, this principle has been proved useful in teaching desired behaviors to children and even dogs. The Premack principle is also knows as the Relativity Theory of Reinforcement. As we can see, in the example, the person is using a preferred behavior (going to the mall) as a reward for the less preferred behavior (studying psychology).
