KINE 316 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Motivation, Reinforcement, Controllability
Document Summary
Positive reinforcement: adding something to maintain a behavior. Punishment: take something away to maintain a behavior, adding something to eliminate a behavior. It"s about how you frame it and perception. Because people: react differently to the same reinforce, may not be able to repeat a desired behavior, every activity has competing motives. How much feedback should be used when learning a new task: in the early stages of learning, continuous and immediate reinforcements are desirable, in the later stages of learning, however, intermittent, but immediate, reinforcement is more effective. The punisher"s unknowingly acting as a reinforce, and might strengthen the. Be consistent by giving everyone the same type of punishment for breaking. Punish the behavior, not the person- convey to the person that it"s his or her. Do not use physical activity as a punishment. Use punishment sparingly, but enforce it when you use it behavior that needs to change.
