Question

Unconditioned negative reinforcers must be related to our inherited capacity to respond to them (for example, aversive, painful stimuli), and conditioned negative reinforcers must be stimuli that were originally neutral events that acquired their effects through previous pairing with existing negative reinforcers.
O True
O False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation:

Negative reinforcers strengthen a behavior that avoids or removes a negative outcome.

Negative reinforcers are stimuli factors that influence behavior because individuals have capacity we inherited to respond to them and  effects of these reinforcers have been established through records and histories of learning. Negative reinforcers are at the mercy of type of response acquired. Negative reinforcers are sources of negative reinforcements.

Unconditioned negative reinforcers

stimuli is one whose removal strengthens the choice behavior in absence of prior learning. Example includes the place of shock, loud noise, intense light.

Other times pain will occasion behavior and other response that eliminates discomfort will be reinforced.
