Glen and Bill like to extort lunch money from some of the smaller kids in the class. One morning before school they caught Rick and said threateningly, "C'mon, wimp, hand it over," as one stood on each side of him. Rick shook his head, no, but Glen and Bill started pushing him around. Finally, after repeated refusals, Rick handed them the money, and they left. The next week the same thing
happened again. Rick refused and struggled briefly, but then handed them the money with a sigh, and they again left, giving each other "high fives." Encountering Glen and Bill again later in the week, Rick faced the inevitable and just handed them his lunch money. The best explanation for why Rick gives up his lunch money is: a. he is being punished for giving it up. b. he is being negatively reinforced for giving it up. c. giving up the money has become a conditioned response. d. he has generalized, so he gives up the money.
