Problem: Jerry is provided with a small piece of candy every time they void in the toilet at home. Why is the behavior of voiding in the toilet at home a contingency-shaped behavior? Need Assignment Help?
Each specific instance of the target behavior (voiding in the toilet) is reinforced immediately at home.
Jerry will engage in voiding on the toilet because they will eventually earn the approval of their parents.
Reinforcers are only provided after a certain number of successful voids in the toilet at home.
Jerry wasn't explicitly told about the contingency.
