CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular response or behavior will be strengthened.

Detailed explanation-2: -Operant Behavior In this case positive and negative do not mean good or bad. Instead, positive reinforcement means introducing stimulus to increase the probability of recurrence of behavior, while negative reinforcement involves removing stimulus to encourage good behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reinforcers are stimuli that increases the frequency of behavior. Reinforcers are known by their effects. Rewards and punishments are known by what? by how they feel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior (response) is rewarding or the behavior is followed by another stimulus that is rewarding, increasing the frequency of that behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reinforcement is defined as an environmental stimulus that results in an increase of the frequency of an exhibited behavior because the organism, after a number of contiguous presentations of behavior-reward, associates a specific behavioral action with a desired outcome.
