Detailed explanation-1: -In behavioral psychology, reinforcement is a consequence applied that will strengthen an organism’s future behavior whenever that behavior is preceded by a specific antecedent stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reinforcement is a stimulus which follows and is contingent upon a behavior and increases the probability of a behavior being repeated. Positive reinforcement can increase the probability of not only desirable behavior but also undesirable behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -Four key consequences of behavior either encourage or discourage people’s behavior. Positive Reinforcement:-Applying a valued consequence that increases the likelihood that the person will repeat the behavior that led to it.
