Wait, isn't this the one where you get a cookie every time you commit fraud? Asking for a friend...

I recall something about how applying a reward consistently can lead to stronger behavior, but I can't remember if it's just positive reinforcement or if there are other factors involved.

I’m a bit confused; does differential reinforcement mean we should avoid punishment? I feel like I mixed that up in my notes.

I remember practicing a question about reinforcement types, and I think positive reinforcement is what strengthens behavior in this context.

I've got this! Differential reinforcement is when a behavior is strengthened by the application of a consequence, either positive or negative. I'll need to identify which consequence is being described in the question.

Ugh, I'm not too familiar with reinforcement theory. I'll have to try to recall the key concepts and how they apply to this question.

Okay, I remember learning about differential reinforcement in my psych class. I think it has to do with positive or negative consequences strengthening certain behaviors.
