I said that Skinner identified that positive reinforcement was the most effective way of affecting the rats' behaviours, described the procedure and mentioned that punishment was less effective than positive reinforcement.

I wrote A!!!! I thought it was about giving mental processes a biological basis?
What did you guys put for the Fight or Flight response - I spoke about Amygdala, Hypothalamus, Sympathomedullatory Pathway and Hormones (Adrenaline and Noradrenaline). Would that be right?

Did we have to talk about each condition? Positive (Food pellets), Negative (Loud noise) and Punishment (Shock)?
