Positive reinforcement
Positive reinforcement is a behavior modification technique that involves adding a rewarding stimulus to encourage a desired behavior. It works on the principle that when a behavior is followed by something pleasurable or satisfying, the likelihood of that behavior being repeated increases. For example, if a student receives praise or a treat for completing their homework, they are more likely to do their homework in the future. This technique is widely used in education, training, and parenting to promote good behavior and learning outcomes by emphasizing the benefits of positive actions.
