Question

Below are given two sets in which set I specifies the four behaviour modification techniques which set II indicates their exemplifications. Match the two sets:

Set I (Behaviour modification techniques)Set II (Example)
(a) Positive reinforcement(iv) The behaviour increases in frequency after the presentation of the stimulus
(b) Negative reinforcement(iii) The behaviour increases in frequency after the removal of the stimulus
(c) Punishment(ii) Painful or aversive stimulus is presented to stop the occurrence of behaviour
(d) Extinction(i) Withdrawal of pleasant stimulus or application of an aversive stimulus to stop tde behaviour


Choose your answer from the following options:

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2019 Home Science Question Paper (04-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

To solve this question, we need to understand the various behavior modification techniques and their corresponding examples. Let's analyze each technique from Set I and match it to the correct example from Set II:

  1. Positive Reinforcement: This technique involves increasing the frequency of a behavior by presenting a rewarding stimulus after the desired behavior. Therefore, the correct example from Set II is (iv) "The behavior increases in frequency after the presentation of the stimulus".
  2. Negative Reinforcement: This involves increasing the frequency of a behavior by removing an unpleasant stimulus after the desired behavior. Thus, the matching example is (iii) "The behavior increases in frequency after the removal of the stimulus".
  3. Punishment: In this technique, an unpleasant stimulus is presented to decrease or stop the occurrence of a behavior. The appropriate example here is (ii) "Painful or aversive stimulus is presented to stop the occurrence of behavior".
  4. Extinction: This involves the withdrawal of a pleasant stimulus or the application of an aversive stimulus to stop a behavior. Thus, the suitable example is (i) "Withdrawal of pleasant stimulus or application of an aversive stimulus to stop the behavior".

With this understanding, we match them as follows:

  • (a) Positive reinforcement - (iv) The behavior increases in frequency after the presentation of the stimulus
  • (b) Negative reinforcement - (iii) The behavior increases in frequency after the removal of the stimulus
  • (c) Punishment - (ii) Painful or aversive stimulus is presented to stop the occurrence of behavior
  • (d) Extinction - (i) Withdrawal of pleasant stimulus or application of an aversive stimulus to stop the behavior

Therefore, the correct answer is: (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i).
