Reinforcement and Punishment

Question 3 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

When punishment is applied after every instance of an unwanted target behavior, it is generally more effective.

Answer
A
T
B
F

Explanation

Punishment is generally more effective when it follows every instance of the unwanted behavior. Consistent consequences make the connection between the behavior and its outcome clear; if punishment is only occasional, the behavior may continue because it is not reliably followed by a consequence. So the statement is true, choice T.
