I found a contradiction. She said, “let me know in the comments what books you’d like for me to read next.” However, comments are disabled for that video. That is a contradiction.
It's a comedy and Venkman is shown to be a sleazy guy willing to use his position to take advantage of women. It's funny because you're not supposed to do things like that.

$5? A professional study like that should be at least $20.

I love that Venkman’s theory is that negative enforcement through electrical shocks on people with ESP angers them.
I recently saw the guy getting zapped in another movie, made a few years before this. An obscure slasher film called "Who Dunnit" aka "Blood Island".
Great scenewhere’s the trailer
So she guesses one Venkman just used on him and revealed. And he guesses the previous one's used on her that aren't revealed. It's a genius joke. Lol.
yeah lol.
I’ll admit; I get ASMR from this scene. Anyone else or am I just weird?
It's actually positive reinforcement because he's giving electric shocks.
Square!
Good guess. But wrong.
Zzzt
No, the square was zapped.
Wow OK 👻

Yes.
0:12 what version of the theme song is playing here? It sounds like a demo version that i’ve never heard before. Is it in full to listen to?
It's just the regular version. It fades out as the scene transitions, so that's why it might sound a little different to you.
If you check out Ray Parker Jr's album Chart Busters, there's an alternate version of the song that was used in various parts of the film.
He didn't give a female student electro shock
Because he's hoping to boink her.
Of course not. Not the pretty blonde. I hated this scene.

Technically, itd be positive punishment, not negative reinforcement. The stimulus (the electric shock) is added every time got it wrong
