trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Showing but withholding a reward constitutes a specific category of behavioral conditioning.
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 84/100

The retrieved literature supports the premise that showing and subsequently withholding rewards (extinction or reward omission) constitutes a well-established category of behavioral conditioning that drives response inhibition and extinction learning.
