We had to identify the error made in this clip during my psychology class. It turns out that administering electric shocks is a type of positive punishment, not negative reinforcement as depicted on the show.

[@InkHeart17]

Exactly. I think the show realized its mistake here, because in last week's episode of the latest season Sheldon brought up this issue saying the term gets misused all of the time.

[@danielleza908]

Aren't there some more mistakes? Such as it shouldn't be so effective so quickly?

[@rustamrommy9783]

Professor Oak

[@pauldavis6765]

Actually if the shocks were put on constantly then removed every time something happened that Sheldon was looking for then it would be Negative Reinforcement - the removal of an undesirable stimulus with the goal of increasing a target behavior.

[@AB-tp2dy]

you just earned me extra credit for psychology class :)

[@ulisesphs]

4:20 negative reinforcement is the removal of a stimulus. On the other hand, positive punishnent is the addition of a stimulus that will weaken or stop a behavior from reoccurring (i. e., mild shock without tissue damage)

[@soap_bubbles]

In case your teachers ask what's wrong with this clip, it's that Sheldon incorrectly identifies spraying Leonard with water as "negative reinforcement" (the removal of a bad stimulus to encourage a behavior) when it is actually positive punishment (introducing a bad stimulus to discourage a behavior.)

[@BlackDiamond2718]

Yeah they incorrectly did it in the ghostbusters episode i think. Positive is adding a stimulus and negative is removing it. Reinforcement is a positive stimulus and punishment is a negative one.

[@albythe2nd]

@@BlackDiamond2718 actually its correct in the ghostbusters episode. Punishment & Reinforcement is referring to discouraging and encouraging behavior respectively. Positive & negative refers to adding or removing a stimulus. Positive - Adding a stimulus Negative - Removing a stimulus Punishment - "to discourage behavior" Reinforcement - "to encourage behavior"

PSYCHOLOGY QUESTIONS Who are the three characters in the clip? Sheldon, Penny, and Leonard What does the chocolate represent? Cholate represents positive reinforcement. What is Sheldon trying to accomplish? Sheldon is trying to be “nice” to Penny, but really he is trying to make Penny follow Sheldon’s definition of “correct behavior” like no loud talking, and picking up after him. Which famous psychologists does Sheldon refer to? B. F. Skinner - American psychologist Does Sheldon ever use negative reinforcement in the clip? No, negative reinforcement is to take away a negative stimulus to promote a certain behavior, but in this clip, Sheldon was talking about positive punishment. Name TWO behaviors Sheldon is able to change by using positive reinforcement? -Loud talking while watching a movie outside, instead of on the couch -Pennys high pitch talking and laughing, like when she says “freaky”
