CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement: a desirable stimulus is introduced to encourage certain behavior. Positive punishment: an undesirable stimulus is introduced to discourage the behavior. Negative reinforcement: an undesirable stimulus is removed to encourage the behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement aims to increase desired behavior by adding a favorable stimulus right after that behavior occurs. It is rewarding someone for what they do, and this reward encourages them to do it again. The reinforcing stimulus is a positive reinforcer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reinforcement means you are increasing a behavior, and punishment means you are decreasing a behavior. Reinforcement can be positive or negative, and punishment can also be positive or negative. All reinforcers (positive or negative) increase the likelihood of a behavioral response.

Detailed explanation-4: -The definition of a reinforcer is something that increases the likelihood that a specific behavior or response will occur. Positive reinforcers add something to increase behaviors, while negative reinforcers take something away. Primary reinforcers are rooted in our biology and do not need to be learned.

Detailed explanation-5: -Summary. The purpose of using reinforcement is to increase the frequency of a desired behavior occurring again under similar situations. As such, a reinforcer is the consequence of a behavior, leading to future occurrence.
