Positive Reinforcement: Strengthens a response or behavior by giving a typically, but nit always, pleasurable stimulus after a response. ex. Providing an allowance for a child to encourage good behavior at home.
Negative Reinforcement: Strengthens a response or behavior by reducing or removing an adverse stimulus. ex. PTaking Xanax to immediately reduce symptoms of anxiety.
Primary Reinforcers: Innately reinforcing stimuli, innately satisfying, ex, getting food when hungry.
Conditioned Reinforcers: Also secondary reiforders, are learned. It it a stimulus that gains its power through its association with primary reinforcers. Each reinforcer in linked to a basic primary reinforcer.
Immediate Reinforcers: Samll, immediate rewards or consequences.
Delayed Reinforcers: Postponed rewards for a greater, lond-term reward. Delayed gratification. Big reward later rather than small reward now. This fosters maturity, high acheiving, socially competent children with more control over impulses.
