Matt regularly buckles his seat belt simply because it turns off the car's irritating warning buzzer. This best illustrates the value of:
a. respondent behavior.
b. negative reinforcement.
c. generalization.
d. secondary reinforcement.
e. spontaneous recovery.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is b. negative reinforcement.

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, negative reinforcement is an unpleasant consequence to an action, which prevents an individual from repeating the behaviour, or encourages him to take an opposite course of action.

In the example, Matt knows the consquence of not buckling is the irratating noise, so he is more likely to do the opposite.
