Removal Punishment & Positive Reinforcement - Together the two procedures give alternative substitute behavior which is incompatible with the fighting.
She probably thought Time-Out was reinforcing (based on what the child said). It probably wasn't a good decision. She should probably go ahead and use Time-Out and look at its effects on the child's behavior. Paul's behavior of trying to get out of Time-Out is negatively reinforced because Time-Out is “taken away” when Paul protests.
Negative Reinforcement because school is essentially “removed” following the fighting. Fighting would be expected to increase. Some kind of punishment procedure (perhaps Presentation Punishment) that does not involve removal from school (i.e., after school detention).
His studying may be extinguished, assuming that getting feedback is reinforcing (it is for many children, unless getting his grade is punishing). It's important to provide feedback as soon as possible.
She may have inadvertently given 3 days of extinction. She should take more gradual steps. Also, she could give verbal reinforcers to "tide them over."
Negative Reinforcement of sitting there without responding - removal of a difficult task.
She has been positively reinforced with attention and TV for getting out of bed. Her parents might extinguish the behavior by making her stay in bed when she wakes up and certainly avoid giving her Positive Reinforcement.
She experiences Presentation Punishment (or maybe even Removal Punishment) for swearing around her parents, but rewarded when she is with her friends. Thus, swearing increases or decreases according to whom she is with.
He will likely blow on dice again because he was positively reinforced (although accidentally) for doing so (even though reinforcement was random and did not depend on his behavior, he may come to behave as though it did). Eventually, this will probably be extinguished.
Removal Punishment because she basically follows Becky’s bullying by “taking away” her playmates.
This behavior should decrease because of Presentation Punishment. Natural consequences of behavior apply when parents aren't around. This consequence tends to provide a rationale for the parents warnings and may be more closely linked to the tree climbing than the parents' warning.
Negative Reinforcement - “taking away” the braces following her regular use of the rubber bands.
