I thought social disapproval could be punishing too, though!

Physical restraint is a classic example of an unconditioned punisher.

I’m confused about social disapproval. It feels like it could be punishing, but I guess it’s more of a social construct? I’ll have to think about that one.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify unconditioned stimuli. I feel like a bitter taste definitely qualifies, but social disapproval seems more learned.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember that excessive stimulation can be punishing. Maybe it's physical restraint that doesn't fit as an unconditioned punisher?

I think unconditioned punishers are things that naturally cause discomfort, so I'm leaning towards social disapproval as the answer.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the difference between conditioned and unconditioned punishers. Let me think this through carefully - I want to make sure I get the right answer.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is that an unconditioned punisher has to be something that naturally elicits an aversive response, not something learned. So physical restraint is the odd one out here.

Okay, I've got this. An unconditioned punisher is something that naturally decreases a behavior without any prior learning. So physical restraint is the only one that couldn't function as an unconditioned punisher.

This question seems straightforward - I think I know the answer, but I'll double-check my understanding of unconditioned punishers just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. Let me think through the definition of an unconditioned punisher again to figure out which of these options wouldn't fit.

I think I've got this. The policy is set to enable flow logs, so if I assign it to NSG1 and NSG2, that should enable flow logs for both of those network security groups. The question is pretty straightforward.

Haha, I hope the exam doesn't have a 'taste the bitter chemical' section to test this. That would be a real unconditioned punisher!

I disagree. I believe physical restraint could NOT function as an unconditioned punisher because it is a form of external control.

D, physical restraint, has got to be the answer. That's a learned response, not an innate one.
