Hi Karen and every one

[@katmahbub]

I think the situation at 5:05 is Premack principle? Do wee need to know about that for the ASWB exam?

[@user-gy4sb2je8s]

Adding a swear jar. Is ADDING (positive), no?

[@karenmagruderlcsw-s9655]

Great point, I can see your logic there. However, in this example the main function of the swear jar is to TAKE AWAY money, so since the behavior is taking away money it would be negative. Same thing with paying a fine for a speeding ticket. Hope this helps!
