Positive Punishment
Katherine receives a token (as part of a token economy) every time she brushes her teeth before going to bed. This is an example of:
Punishment
Negative reinforcement
Positive reinforcement
None of the above
I thought the answer to this question would be positive reinforcement because you are adding giving a reward (the token) to increase behavior (brushing teeth), but it says the correct answer is none of the above. Can someone explain that to me? or is the response to this question marked incorrectly?
