Aman is trapped in a room. the room has only two possible exits: two doors. through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. the blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. how does the man escape?

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.
