Document Summary
Good example is when your email dings so you check it! Positive reinforcement - increasing a behaviour by providing a positive reinforcer when the behaviour occurs. Child does something good so you give them a cookie. Negative reinforcement - increasing a behaviour by removing a negative reinforcer when the behaviour occurs. Punishment - decreasing a behaviour by providing a negative reinforcer when the behaviour occurs. Time out when a kid does stupid shit. Extinction - decreasing a behaviour by removing a positive reinforcer when the behaviour occurs. Not picking a go hard in class serves them right. Extinction burst final attempt at an activity to see if reinforcement cycle can be reinstated. Reinforcement is not always necessary for learning to occur. You see other people winning at a casino so you are influenced to gamble. Aggressive behaviour can also be obtained as a result of seeing others be aggressive. (ie bobo the clown)
