Answer:

The parents are using punishment to suppress the screaming; their use of punishment is negatively reinforced by the cessation of screaming.

Explanation:

Punishment: In psychology, the term "punishment" is determined as one of the concepts of operant conditioning which was proposed by B. F. Skinner. Punishment referred to any specific changes in an organism's (human beings & animals) environmental surrounding that tends to occur only when a particular response or behavior is being provided and generally reduces the response or behavior to occur again in the future.

Punishment is of two types i.e, negative and positive punishment.

In the question above, the given statement represents the negative punishment (decreases an unwanted behavior by removing a desired thing).

Arlecino [84]

Cultural capital concerns certain types of skills that are developed by children, these skills are passed from parents to children, usually parents of the social middle class. Reading skills, watching documentaries, playing classical instruments. These children have better academic development than others.

People with cultural capital skills always get people's attention, stand out, unlike those who don't, who aren't seen as capable by society.
