Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: A reinforcer is any consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior recurring. Positive reinforcement increases a behavior by providing a rewarding stimulus after the behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Continuous reinforcement is the repeated reinforcement of a behavior every time it happens. This can involve positive (adding a stimulus) or negative (removing a stimulus) reinforcement, with the goal of encouraging certain actions.
Detailed explanation-4: -In behavioral psychology, reinforcement is a consequence applied that will strengthen an organism’s future behavior whenever that behavior is preceded by a specific antecedent stimulus.
Detailed explanation-5: -A continuous schedule of reinforcement (CR) in an operant conditioning procedure results in the acquisition of associative learning and the formation of long-term memory.
