This is a case of "negative reinforcement". The term was created by B.F. Skinner, and it is about not doing something in order to avoid suffering or pain (physical or psychological). A good example of negative reinforcement can be seen in the movie "A Clockwork Orange", directed by Stanley Kubrick. The main character goes to a correctional facility where he's forced to watch violent movies while experiencing an unimaginable sensation of nausea. The goal of the institution was to turn him into a non-violent individual by conditioning his brain to associate violence with feeling sick to his stomach. In fact, after such experiment he wasn't even able to enjoy Beethoven's music anymore, since it was played throughout the whole "therapeutic" movie sessions. In Herbie's case, he could no longer eat his daily chocolate chip cookies, since he didn't want to get nauseated again. It doesn't mean he would necessarily feel that way if he actually had the cookies, but he refused to eat them anyway, since he'd already been negatively reinforced not to eat them.

You will a harder time gathering evidence from websites if you are doing it when you type it out. <u>All in all, doing a prewriting plan is an excellent idea.</u>

Tim is someone's name, and thus, <u>is a proper noun.</u>
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u> A proper noun is a specific noun. For example, "lake" is a common noun and thus do not need capitalization but Lake Michigan is a specific noun (because it's a specific place) and does need capitalized. All proper nouns need capitalization, and a common proper noun is someone's name.
Doctor can be used generally, you could say, "I think I need to go see a doctor" so that's not it
Uncle could work if you were referring to someone specifically. "My uncle is coming over" is using it in a general sense, but, "My Uncle John is coming over" is more specific, so that would be a specific noun but in this case, it isn't.

Robot by itself is a common noun so it isn't an option. For example, "did you see this cool robot she's working on?" It's used in a general sense.
