Consider the statement: "Lorelei is receiving positive punishment when she is not allowed to play during recess." What change, if any, should be made?

"Positive punishment" should be changed to "negative punishment"

Explanation:

Positive and negative punishment are terms from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

Basically, ABA says that punishment is an action, a consequence of a behavior, whose purpose is to decrease the frequency of that behaviour occurring in the future.

Positive punishment presents an aversive stimulus after an undesired behavior. This aversive consequence should make that behaviour less frequent in the future. For example, if a child plays with a knife (undesired behavior) it will cut itself (aversive consequence) and will avoid this behavior in the future.

On the other hand, negative punishment presents a removal of positive stimulus after an undesired behavior. In this case Lorelei is not allowed to play during recess (positive stimulus renoved) in order to prevent undesired behavior that led to that from repeating in the future.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
