Define and explain the four types of reinforcement, including their effect on behavior. Give examples of each from your own experiences.
What will be an ideal response?
The four types are:
Positive reinforcement—use of positive consequences to encourage desirable behavior; increases the probability of future desired behavior.
Negative reinforcement—removal of unpleasant consequences following a desired behavior; increases the probability of future desired behavior.
Extinction—withholding or withdrawal of positive rewards for desirable behavior; decreases the probability of that behavior.
Punishment—application of negative consequences to stop or change undesirable behavior.
The student should then give examples of each from his or her own experiences.
