I bet Joe's parents wish they could just unplug him from the computer like they do with the router when it's acting up. That would be the ultimate negative punishment!

Haha, Joe must be the video game equivalent of a chain-smoker! Losing his computer for 2 days, talk about cold turkey.

I think Joe learned that refusing to do his chores leads to consequences, so he started complying to avoid losing access to his computer.

I think it's D) contingency contracting. Joe's parents set up a clear contract that if he didn't do his chores, he'd lose computer time. Sounds like a textbook contingency contract to me.

I agree with Suzi. The loss of computer access is an aversive consequence that decreased the undesirable behavior, which is the definition of negative punishment.

Yeah, losing access to something you love can be a powerful motivator to change your behavior.

Joe probably realized that not completing his chores would result in losing computer access, so he stopped refusing to do them.

Definitely B) negative punishment. Taking away his computer access for refusing to do chores is a classic example of negative punishment.
