CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In Operant Conditioning Theory, there are essentially four quadrants: Positive Reinforcement, Positive Punishment, Negative Reinforcement, and Negative Punishment.

Detailed explanation-2: -In operant conditioning, “reinforcement” refers to anything that increases the likelihood that a response will occur. Psychologist B.F. Skinner coined the term in 1937, 2. For example, reinforcement might involve presenting praise (a reinforcer) immediately after a child puts away their toys (the response).

Detailed explanation-3: -A child is scolded (unpleasant event) for ignoring homework (undesirable behavior.) A parent gives a child a time-out (unpleasant consequence) for throwing tantrums (unwanted behavior.) The police gives a driver a ticket (unpleasant stimulus) for speeding (unwanted behavior.)

Detailed explanation-4: -While classical conditioning is training dogs to salivate to the sound of a metronome, operant conditioning is training them to sit by giving them a treat when they do.
