Which view of scientific theorizing employs what is referred to as "useful fictions"?

the answer to the question is punishment. or more specifically, positive punishment.

positive punishment occurs when a behavior is given a negative consequence for the individual doing the behavior.

sara no longer wants to ask questions (the behavior) because she is ridiculed by mr. smith (the punishment).

reinforcement is inaccurate because reinforcement always gives positive consequences for the individual doing the behavior, be it by introducing a pleasant consequence or removing an unpleasant one.

explanation:

wow this is going to be a long one

cats shouldn't be kept inside their whole life they should be out in nature in the fresh air but because of our technology advances it has become unsafe for our furry friend to be outside in the city's, because they could be hit by vehicles. in city's yes i agree being inside isn't the worse thing, but if you live somewhere rural you should let your cats outside, yes some animals hunt cats but i don't think cats should be kept inside confined to such a small space.

btw this is my opinion
