Looks like Katie got a little too hot and bothered in the kitchen! Must have been one sizzling experience. I'd say she's got a case of the 'pan-ic' attacks now.

Oof, that's a tough one. I'm leaning towards B, negative reinforcement. The pain from the burn has reinforced Katie's decision to avoid stir-frying, and now she's being negatively reinforced every time she thinks about it.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The way I see it, the hot pan was the unconditioned stimulus, and Katie's fear of stir-frying is the conditioned response. So I'd go with C - conditioned punishment.

I see your point, but I still think it's more of a conditioned punishment.

But wouldn't Katie's fear of stir-frying be considered a negative punishment?

I think you're right, the hot pan was definitely the unconditioned stimulus.

I'm with Roosevelt on this one. The burn was an involuntary, automatic response to the hot pan, so it's clearly an unconditioned punishment. Katie's learned to avoid that painful experience at all costs!

Ouch, that hot pan must have really left a mark! I'd say it's a case of unconditioned punishment - the pain from the burn was an immediate and unpleasant consequence that has made Katie avoid stir-frying ever since.

I think it's negative reinforcement, she's avoiding stir-frying to prevent the pain.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be C) conditioned punishment if she now associates stir-frying with pain.

I agree with Luann, getting burned while stir-frying would definitely discourage Katie from doing it again.
