Management in Life

Kate$$s son, Hubert, did an amazing thing last week. For the first time in a month, Hubert made his bed and picked up his dirty clothes. This greatly excited Kate, and she decided to use reinforcement theory to help make sure that Hubert would continue his room$-$cleaning behavior. Kate has two methods she can use to increase the likelihood of room cleaning in the future: increase Hubert$$s allowance or stop nagging Hubert about the state of his room.

If Kate increased Hubert's allowance, which reinforcement technique would Kate be using?

Avoidance learning

Punishment

Extinction

Positive reinforcement

On the other hand, if Kate stopped nagging Hubert, which reinforcement technique would this reflect?

Avoidance learning
