Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of reinforcement tries that the human being acts according to the consequences, and that they can occur in a positive or negative way. Positive reinforcements are what allow behavior to become repetitive over time; Negative reinforcements refer to an increase in the probability that the behavior may occur, but that avoids any adverse effect.
