Answer:

The correct answer is: Positive reinforcement.

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a technique used in operant conditioning and it consists of rewarding behavior considered positive by using a reinforcer after the subject elicits the behavior.

It follows this schema: Behavior considered positive -----> reward --------> Behavior is more likely to happen again.

Answer:

b) negative reinforcement

Explanation:

Negative reinforcement has to do with rewarding or responding to a certain stimulus or behaviour by respond in a negative or averse manner.

Mary tries to change Pearl's behaviour by refusing to making a comment or responding to Pearl speaking her native language when she's capable of expressing herself in English. They do this so she would learn to speak English more and get used to it.

Pearl's family are using negative reinforcement to try and get her to speak English more often. If she uses her native language, she is ignored and not replied to unless she repeats her words in English. Ignoring her is the averse method her family is using to get her to respond to the stimulus of speaking English.
