1 answer
This scenario best represents automatic reinforcement. Automatic reinforcement refers to the process by which a behavior is reinforced by the inherent consequences or outcomes of that behavior. In this case, Teodro's behavior of completing a 3-mile run early in the morning leads to an increase in energized feeling for the rest of the day, which serves as a natural reinforcer for that behavior. There is no mention of social reinforcement in this scenario.
