Answer:

Explanation:

Reinforcement is a term used in psychology, it means to any stimulus that can increase or strengthen the probabilty of a specific reponse.

B.F Skinner was the psychologist who is considered as the father of Operant conditioning, he was the first to discover Positive reinforcement.

So if we want a person to show positive behaviour we sold giver a positive response when he/she shows required behaviour.

Positive reinforcement also  occurs naturally, when we hold door open for someone they might praise us and say thank you. The compliment may serve as positive reinforcement and we will be more like o hold the door open for people in future
