ICS Part 1: Stimuli

ICS Part 1: Stimuli

Question description

In this Instructor Contact Session, you will hear your instructor talk about painful and reinforcing stimuli. Listen to the lecture and take notes. Then post a substantive response to the following discussion question:

You read how “one particular stimulus may be involved in reinforcement and punishment of different behaviors in the same situation, depending on whether the stimulus is presented or removed after the behavior” (Miltenberger, 2016, pp. 115–116). Further, you saw examples of how a painful stimulus may be involved in both positive punishment and negative reinforcement, as well as how a reinforcing stimulus may be involved in both negative punishment and positive reinforcement.

Share an example from your own life of either one of these two processes.
