CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative reinforcement involves the relief of something undesirable being removed. An example would be when you get into your car and it starts beeping before you put on your seatbelt. The beeping is undesirable and engaging in the behaviour of putting on your seatbelt removes the beep.

Detailed explanation-2: -A classic example of negative reinforcement is the beeping noise your car makes when you haven’t buckled your seat belt. The car makes this beeping noise in order to increase the likelihood of you buckling your seatbelt (so, buckling your seatbelt is the desired behavior).

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of positive reinforcement is: A child receives money for doing chores. Negative reinforcement is where instead of being rewarded with an item for making positive choices, and item or stimulus is removed after a specific behavior is shown.

Detailed explanation-4: -Negative reinforcement is the type of reinforcement that occurs when an unpleasant stimuli is removed upon performing a behavior. Reinforcement always increases a behavior. In this case, the unpleasant stimulus is the car beeping and the behavior is buckling the seat belt.
