How does the process of negative reinforcement encourage you to use sunblock when heading to the beach?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Negative reinforcement is rewarding good behavior with the removal of something aversive. In this case, the good behavior is applying sunblock and the removal of something aversive is the risk of sunburn. If you forget or neglect to use sunblock, you will experience a "punishment" in the form of a sunburn.
