"negative reinforcement" was used incorrectly =) The correct term is "positive punishment" It's a common terminological misuse!

electric shocks would be positive punishment.

Not quite. It has nothing to do with fact she is blonde. Dark haired girls can be "trained" as much as anyone else. In this case she is less intelligent than her peers (Leonard and Sheldon). Bernadette is an exception because she is a scientist. Although, it wouldn't take a genius to figure out what Sheldon is doing because it's so exaggerated so as the audience may understand. It's a TV show. It doesn't prove blondes are dumb.
