Positive Reinforcement
The introduction of a rewarding stimulus after a desired behavior is exhibited, making the behavior more likely to happen in the future. Example: Giving a student praise after they answer a question correctly.
Negative Reinforcement
The removal of an aversive stimulus after a desired behavior is exhibited, which increases the frequency of that behavior. Example: Turning off an annoying sound when a student completes their assignment.
Primary Reinforcement
Using a naturally rewarding stimulus that satisfies a basic need. Example: Giving a child their favorite snack for finishing homework.
Secondary Reinforcement
The use of a stimulus which has become rewarding through association with a primary reinforcer. Example: Handing out tokens for good behavior that can be exchanged for extra recess time.
Immediate Reinforcement
Reinforcement given immediately after the desired behavior. Example: A teacher immediately gives a sticker to a student who helps a classmate.
Delayed Reinforcement
A reward that is given some time after the desired behavior has occurred. Example: Getting a certificate at the end of the week for good behavior maintained throughout the week.
Continuous Reinforcement
The delivery of a reward after every instance of a desired behavior. Example: A student getting a small piece of candy every time they complete a math problem correctly.
Partial Reinforcement
Only some instances of the desired behavior are reinforced, based on a schedule. Example: A teacher only giving praise for excellent answers sometimes, not every time.
