Detailed explanation-1: -Reinforcement in operant conditioning involves strengthening an action by associating it with a consequence. If you want a child to clean their room, for instance, you may reinforce this behavior by giving them an allowance every time that they do.
Detailed explanation-2: -An advantage of operant conditioning is its ability to explain learning in real-life situations. From an early age, parents nurture their children’s behavior using rewards. Praise following an achievement (e.g. crawling or taking a first step) reinforce such behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -Positive reinforcement occurs when the removal of an aversive or unpleasant stimulus following an emitted behavior strengthens the occurrence of the behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -Behavior that is followed by a pleasant consequence is likely to be repeated and behavior followed by an unpleasant consequence is less likely to be repeated.
