Two boys are fighting on school grounds during recess. Fighting is against school rules, and the boys know this. Even so, a teacher who sees them lets them continue to fight rather than punishing them for doing so
Judging from what psychologists say regarding what happens when expected punishments don't occur, we can predict that these boys will be: a. Less likely to fight in the future b. More likely to fight in the future c. Likely to feel guilty when they stop fighting d. Likely to imitate more appropriate social behaviors in the future
In the middle of a difficult exam, Robert tells his teacher that his stomach hurts, and the teacher immediately sends him to the school nurse. On several later occasions when he has a difficult test or assignment, Robert again tells his teacher that he

From a behaviorist perspective, we can say that Robert is: a. being punished for complaining about his stomach. b. being negatively reinforced for complaining about his stomach. c. being intermittently reinforced for complaining about his stomach. d. acquiring an unconditioned response to complain.
