Practicing Success
Assertion (A) : In negative reinforcement, the tokens are collected and exchanged for a reward such as an outing for the patient or a treat for the child. |
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A A is true, R is false A is false, R is true |
A is false, R is true |
The correct answer is Option 4: A is false, R is true Assertion (A) : In negative reinforcement, the tokens are collected and exchanged for a reward such as an outing for the patient or a treat for the child. This is false. Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. The description given in the assertion is actually a description of a token economy, which is a system of behavior modification based on the systematic reinforcement of target behavior. The tokens collected and exchanged for a reward reflect positive reinforcement, not negative reinforcement. Thus, the assertion is false.
