CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Here are a few video game examples of negative reinforcement: Animal Crossing: The longer you don’t play the game, the more roaches you get in your house and the more people will leave your town. Lots of mobile games: While you’re not around, resources accumulate. But there is a cap, and they won’t accumulate anymore.

Detailed explanation-2: -Have your kids ever cleaned their room, just to avoid your nagging? This is a perfect example of negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement occurs when something unpleasant or uncomfortable is removed or taken away in order to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, spanking a child when he throws a tantrum is an example of positive punishment. Something is added to the mix (spanking) to discourage a bad behavior (throwing a tantrum). On the other hand, removing restrictions from a child when she follows the rules is an example of negative reinforcement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Negative punishment example: taking away a child’s video games because they didn’t do their chores. It is negative because the video game is being taken away. It is punishment because we want to decrease the undesired behavior of not doing their chores.
