Dude, this is like trying to pet a porcupine. Touching someone who finds it aversive? That's just asking for trouble. I'd say this is more like 'how to get fired 101' than anything else.

Ah, I see what's going on here. The touch is the aversive stimulus, and the person is trying to avoid it by getting back on task. Definitely avoidance behavior, in my opinion.

Hold up, counting to 10 and then touching someone who doesn't like it? That's a recipe for disaster! I'd say this is a textbook example of 'how to annoy your client 101'.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. If the person returns to the task during the counting, that seems like positive reinforcement to me - they're getting the desired behavior reinforced.

Whoa, touching someone who finds it aversive? That's a bit risky, don't you think? I'd say this is a clear case of avoidance, since the individual is getting back on task to avoid the touch.

Positive reinforcement might not be the best approach in this case, given the person's aversion to touch.

Avoidance makes sense in this situation, since the person is getting back on task to avoid the touch.

That makes sense, I see your point. It could be B) Avoidance after all.

I disagree, I believe it is B) Avoidance because the client is avoiding the touch by getting back on task.

I think the answer is A) Escape because the touch is aversive for the client.
