Which type of behavior might increase when positive reinforcement is applied in a haphazard manner?

A. Childlike
B. Gross motor
C. Academic
D. Undesirable



Answer :

Final answer:

Positive reinforcement applied haphazardly can increase undesirable behaviors due to unclear reinforcement signals.


Explanation:

Disorganized or abnormal motor behavior refers to unusual behaviors and movements: becoming unusually active, exhibiting silly child-like behaviors (giggling and self-absorbed smiling), engaging in repeated and purposeless movements, or displaying odd facial expressions and gestures. Positive reinforcement applied in a haphazard manner can lead to an increase in undesirable behaviors as the individual may not clearly understand what behavior is being reinforced, potentially reinforcing behaviors such as aggression or disruptive actions.
