Encouraging a behavior by adding a negative consequence
#3
What is the role of punishment in behavior modification?
To reinforce undesirable behaviors
To decrease the likelihood of a behavior recurring

Punishing behaviors that deviate from the desired behavior
Immediately reinforcing the desired behavior
Introducing an aversive stimulus to discourage unwanted behavior
#8
What is the concept of generalization in behavior modification?
The process of discriminating between similar stimuli

#11
What is the primary difference between operant conditioning and classical conditioning?
Operant conditioning involves involuntary responses, while classical conditioning involves voluntary responses.
Operant conditioning involves the association between stimuli, while classical conditioning involves the association between behaviors and their consequences.
Operant conditioning focuses on modifying reflexive behaviors, while classical conditioning focuses on modifying complex behaviors.
Operant conditioning relies on reinforcement, while classical conditioning relies on punishment.
