CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement refers to the introduction of a desirable or pleasant stimulus after a behavior. The desirable stimulus reinforces the behavior, making it more likely that the behavior will reoccur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reinforcement and punishment both work independently, as well as together, as part of a behavior plan. Positive reinforcement works exceedingly better and faster than punishment.

Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular response or behavior will be strengthened.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive reinforcement clearly defines and communicates desired behaviors while strengthening the relationship between performance and recognition. Employees whose performance is rewarded or recognized are more open to learning new techniques, skills, and taking on additional responsibility.

Detailed explanation-5: -Results of the current study suggest that a combination of both positive and negative reinforcement was most effective for increasing one participant’s compliance to simple tasks. One possible explanation for these results is that the combination of both contingencies increased the individual value of each reinforcer.
