Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement refers to the introduction of a desirable or pleasant stimulus after a behavior. The desirable stimulus reinforces the behavior, making it more likely that the behavior will reoccur.
Detailed explanation-2: -Positive reinforcement is the act of rewarding a positive behavior in order to encourage it to happen again in the future, as in Getting an A on the test was the positive reinforcement I needed to continue studying.
Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement aims to increase desired behavior by adding a favorable stimulus right after that behavior occurs. It is rewarding someone for what they do, and this reward encourages them to do it again. The reinforcing stimulus is a positive reinforcer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reinforcement means you are increasing a behavior, and punishment means you are decreasing a behavior. Reinforcement can be positive or negative, and punishment can also be positive or negative. All reinforcers (positive or negative) increase the likelihood of a behavioral response.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is positive reinforcement? Any consequence where something unpleasant is taken away. Punishment which increases the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated. Punishment which makes behavior unlikely in the future. A classical conditioning technique.
