CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Reinforcement contingency theory posits the belief that one cause of depression is the loss of reward contingencies that are adequate for the individual’s personal need. These rewards could be a satisfying job or the ability to engage in personally rewarding activities such as hobbies, sports, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -The four contingencies are positive and negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Positive reinforcement occurs when the desired behavior results in positive outcomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -the contingency (relationship) between a response and a reinforcer. The contingency may be positive (if the occurrence of the reinforcer is more probable after the response) or negative (if it is less probable after the response).

Detailed explanation-4: -A contrived contingency is a reinforcement or punishment that is implemented by a teacher in order to encourage behavior change or skill acquisition. An example of this would be giving a child access to a preferred toy after finishing a puzzle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three-term contingency (also known as the ABC contingency) in operant conditioning-or contingency management-describes the relationship between a behavior, its consequence, and the environmental context.
