AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative reinforcement gives players a chance to perform in a desirable way, with the consequence clearly defined. One of my favorite examples is the “get-out swim, ” where a swimmer can end a grueling workout for the team if they can perform near a personal-best time standard.

Detailed explanation-2: -Operant Conditioning Examples in sport are situations such as football shooting practice. The coach may direct the players to strike the ball into the right of the goal. If this is done they are rewarded. The area is then reduced to the top half of the right side, and then maybe the top right-hand corner only.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, if we are teaching a child to clap their hands: we say “clap your hands” and the child completes the task, and then we immediate deliver that reinforcer, we are guaranteeing that the reinforcer being provided is as a result of the child completing that task.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive Reinforcement Examples Dog trainers give dogs food rewards every time they raise their paws on command. Mom gives a child an allowance for doing house chores. The manager gives a worker a bonus for completing the project faster. Dad praises his son for studying hard for the exam.
