Mr. Edwards teaches high school psychology. He has tried several times over the past few weeks to get the students in his psychology class to understand the difference between "negative reinforcement" and "punishment." His students continue to confuse the two terms and he knows he must come up with a good example to help them understand the meaning of the concepts. As an avid lover of music, Mr
Edwards decides to apply his music tastes to the understanding of negative reinforcement and punishment. He explains to his students that his own behavior that he is trying to change relates to doing laundry. Mr. Edwards shares with his students that he procrastinates as long as he can and he hates doing his laundry. He also shares with this class his musical preferences. Mr. Edwards loves classic hard rock and dislikes country music. How could Mr. Edwards teach the concepts of negative reinforcement and punishment to explain how his music preferences could be used to change his behavior regarding doing laundry? What will be an ideal response?
