A supervisor complimented each of his workers as he or she arrived promptly to work every morning. Due to time constraints, the supervisor had to stop this practice, resulting in a much higher rate of tardiness among his workers. Which of the following statements best explains this situation in operant terms?
◦ The supervisor's negative reinforcement strategy was stopped, thus extinguishing the behaviour of arriving promptly.
◦ The supervisor was inadvertently punishing his workers by not complimenting them, so the workers didn't arrive on time any more.
◦ The supervisor was using a continuous, immediate reinforcement strategy, and behaviour learned under such conditions is easily extinguishable.
◦ The supervisor was using a partial reinforcement strategy, and behaviour learned under such conditions is easily extinguishable.
◦ The supervisor was using a delayed reinforcement strategy, and behaviour learned under such conditions is easily extinguishable.
