The correct answer is 'Negative reinforcement'.
Explicación
## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the learning process that best describes the behavior of taking a painkiller to relieve a toothache. The options provided are shaping, omission training, negative reinforcement, and positive reinforcement.## Step 2Let's define each of these terms:- Shaping is a method of training by which successive approximations toward a target behavior are reinforced.- Omission training is a type of learning where a behavior is strengthened by the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus.- Negative reinforcement is a type of learning where a behavior is strengthened by the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus.- Positive reinforcement is a type of learning where a behavior is strengthened by the addition of a pleasant stimulus.## Step 3In this case, the behavior of taking a painkiller to relieve a toothache is a response to an unpleasant stimulus (the toothache). The removal of this unpleasant stimulus (the toothache) reinforces the behavior of taking a painkiller. This is a classic example of negative reinforcement.
