CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative Reinforcement Behavior Traps Every temper tantrum is an example of negative reinforcement. When your child wants a cookie and you say no, they apply a negative stimulus (throwing a temper tantrum). They remove the negative stimulus when you do the desired behavior (give them a cookie).

Detailed explanation-2: -Grounding is neither positive nor negative reinforcement. The purpose of reinforcement is to increase the likelihood that a behavior will occur in the future. Grounding, on the other hand, is intended to decrease the likelihood that an undesired behavior will reoccur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Negative Reinforcement Giving a pass to the car behind to avoid its honking. Getting up from the bed to avoid the noisy alarm. Taking an antacid before having a spicy meal. Applying sunscreen before heading to the beach to avoid getting sunburned.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, spanking a child when he throws a tantrum is an example of positive punishment. Something is added to the mix (spanking) to discourage a bad behavior (throwing a tantrum). On the other hand, removing restrictions from a child when she follows the rules is an example of negative reinforcement.
