1. The difference between negative reinforcement (first concept) and punishment (second concept) is that; in the first concept the behavior keeps increasing simply because it is being rewarded in some way by the removing of something that that behaving person does not like, it reinforces that particular behavior.
Example: I do not like washing the shower room and my wife hates taking her car to the carwash, so when I go wash her car she automatically takes care of the bathroom.
While in the second concept, the behavior decreases because of the negative response to it (the punishment). The behaving person receives in return something they do not like, causing them to quit behaving that way.
Example: When my daughter shakes the TV screen or

One of the most weird and surprising schemas that I have seen and experienced at a sporting event is the tendency to hate each other and even get to the point of insult (or physical) when the game is tight. Team supporters “root” very hard for their teams and in that excitement, they start hating whoever is for the other team.
3. Of the seven memory errors presented by Schacter, the ones I know for sure I have committed are:
a. Transience: I lost my mother when I was two but I cannot remember anything at all about me being with her. Even picture do not bring back anything at all.
b. Absentmindedness: last Thursday, the fifth, I went to wash my wife’s car and after that, I came home and engaged in play with my daughter, completely forgetting that I had class. Worse is, I remembered 3 days later that I was not in class two days ago.
c. Persistence: I hate scary movies but I went to see one a long time ago just for the fun, and every night for almost a week I was afraid to see the demons I saw in the movie. It was on my mind for a week.
4. To keep the answers to this question organized each stage of grief/death will be followed right after by its example:

EXAMPLE: in the emergency at my job the paramedics brought in a patient that had a heart attack, he was already in cardiac arrest and the doctors tried CPR, drugs and more but they had to stop and declare him dead but his wife was still talking to the body telling her husband that she could not let him go because she was not ready for that.
Anger:
In a situation of grief, people because of their anger tend to point fingers, even when the process (death) was expectable. They get mad either at God, or at men, or even at themselves.
EXAMPLE: after 9/11 bombings, many people on TV and social media were asking where God was when that happened.
Depression: many people, when they lose a loved one, can stay in a low state for years; certain people even refuse to be helped because they believe that there is no way they can enjoy life without the person they lost.
EXAMPLE: after my mom’s death, my dad waited 8 years before he engaged again. And to this day, pictures of my mother are like a switch to a 24 hours depression for him.
Bargaining: in moments of grief, people try to find meaning or most of the time supernatural
