Question 88

Dr Aris and Clara are training a rescued sea otter named Barnaby at a marine sanctuary. Barnaby usually retreats to his deep underwater cave whenever human caretakers approach his pool. The caretakers want to train Barnaby to swim up to a floating yellow platform at the surface when they ring a brass bell.

Use your knowledge of two types of reinforcement to suggest how Dr Aris and Clara could train Barnaby to swim to the floating yellow platform when they ring the bell.
