Document Summary
Definition: any personal attraction (evaluative comments or reactions) that will increase the occurrence or strength of behaviour. Positive reinforcement - introduction of something that increases or maintains a response. Negative reinforcement - removal of something noxious that increases or maintains a response. Punishment any interaction that decreases the strength of behaviour (is a motivator) Maximizing the use of punishment if used. Consistency punish everyone for the same misdemeanour. Allow input in what is the punishment (allow the team/group to have input) Don"t use physical activity as punishment (running lap want to enhance physical activity, not relate it with a negative reinforce) Make sure the punishment isn"t perceived at reward or attention. Don"t embarrass players in front of teammates (remove them from the scene) Use punishment sparingly but enforce it when you use it. Too often we teach to avoid punishment but don"t teach correct alternative behaviours. Social reinforcement non-tangible, positive, negative, evaluative comments and reactions made by others.
