Your child screams at the top of his lungs every time he does not get his way. How can you use reinforcement to change this behavior (clarify whether the reinforcement is positive or negative). How can you use punishment to change this behavior?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Example:
Reinforcement (positive): reward the child when he does not scream after getting his way through praise. This point is that you are increasing the good behavior.
Punishment: Put the child in time-out when he screams. The point is decreasing the undesired behavior.
