Document Summary
Definition: any personal interaction (evaluative comments or reactions) that will increase the occurrence or strength of a behaviour or performance. Positive reinforcement: introduction of something positive 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, maximize the use of punishment if used. Consistency: punish everyone the same for the same misdemeanor. Allow input into what is the punishment. Don"t use physical activity as a form of punishment. Make sure the punishment isn"t perceived as a reward or attention. Don"t embarrass players infront of their teammates. Use punishment sparingly but enforce it when you use it. Too often we teach to avoid punishment but don"t teach correct alternative behaviours. Non-tangible, positive or negative, evaluative comments and reactions made by others. Can be presented through either: verbal praise or criticism/sarcasm, non-verbal expressions or gestures (positive or critical)
