Name a type of behavioral management for each scenario and explain why it is.
You decide whether the behavioral change in the scenario is explained based on reinforcement (positive/negative) or punishment (positive/negative).
1) Billy likes to camp out in the backyard. He camped out every Friday during the month of June. The last time he camped out, some older kids snuck up to his tent while he was sleeping and threw a bucket of cold water on him. Billy has not camped out for three weeks.
2) John does not go to the dentist every 6-months for a checkup. Instead, he waited until a tooth really hurts, then goes to the dentist. After two emergency trips to the dentist, John now goes every 6-months.
3) Mr. Johnson always praised Tom’s high science scores in front of the class, but his scores gradually decreased.
