Question

Under what circumstances will a reinforcer make the target response more likely to occur again?

Answer 1

The correct answer is "regardless of whether it is a positive or negative reinforcer".

Reinforcement is defined as a way to help increase the possibility that a certain behavior/attitude may occur. There are two types of reinforcement; positive and negative.

-The positive reinforcement is one in which followed by a behavior you get a pleasant consequence, for example after helping in household chores the mother congratulates and hugs her daughter.

- Negative reinforcement is one in which, following some behavior, an unpleasant or aversive consequence is eliminated or disappears. For example, after obtaining good grades, the mother eliminates the responsibility of doing a chore for the child.
