Post by: Vrocha21 on Sep 19, 2018 When Roscoe makes a mistake on a math problem in class, his teacher chides him and derides him, thinking that punishment will make him work harder and get the problem right next time. Instead, Roscoe is in a steady downward spiral, failing math and hating school. What could you tell Roscoe's teacher about the effectiveness of her punishment strategy?
a) "Punishment might indicate what not to do, but it doesn't provide any information about what should be done instead; you're not really helping Roscoe to learn how to do math correctly." b) "Punishment needs to be consistent; you should deride Roscoe every time he makes a mistake so that he can learn from his mistakes more quickly." c) "Intermittent punishment is more effective than constant punishment; let a few of Roscoe's mistakes slide, but then pound him with a bunch of derision all at once." d) "Physical punishment is more effective than verbal punishment; Roscoe's not learning because you're chiding him rather than pinching him when he makes a mistake."
