CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement: This involves adding something to increase response, such as giving a piece of candy to a child after they clean their room.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, a student calls out during class to get attention. When the teacher responds, i.e. pays attention to the disruptive student, this response acts as positive reinforcement – therefore, the probability that the student will call out again increases (Smith, 2017).

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: -There are four types of reinforcement: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, extinction, and punishment.
