Answer
A
T
B
F

Explanation

The statement is false: to decrease unwanted behavior, a reinforcer should not be delivered when that behavior increases, because reinforcement tends to strengthen the behavior it follows. Instead, reinforce appropriate alternative behavior or periods when the unwanted behavior does not occur. Therefore, the choice representing false is correct.
