Positive Reinforcement Situation At Engstrom

225 Words1 Page

Overall, the first major issue at Engstrom is motivation. The productivity as well as the quality of the products has deteriorated over the years along with the company’s revenue, causing the employees to lose their incentive to work because nothing is motivating them. Additionally, one of the causes leading to the decline of motivation is the lack of positive reinforcements. A positive reinforcement is when an individual is rewarded for a desirable behavior, which in turn will encourage the repetition of that behavior. For example, when you praise a staff member for doing an excellent job, there is a good chance he or she will repeat that same behavior. Positive reinforcement not only shapes behavior, but also enhances the individual’s self-image

    In chapter 7, I found the concept of punishment to be most intriguing. Punishment is a part of operant conditioning which was theorized by B.F. Skinner. Punishment is often confused with negative reinforcement. However, the main difference between the two is: while the goal of reinforcement is to increase the likelihood of a behavior, the primary goal of punishment is to reduce the chances of the behavior it follows. In 1938, Skinner concluded that punishment produces only temporary suppression of behavior but later research found that effects may be permanent.

  • Hoda Negative Punishment

    624 Words  | 3 Pages

    Using positive reinforcement which is giving something a person likes to increase the desired behavior, I can encourage her to continue with this behavior. When I would see her happy for me I would firstly say “Thank you”, and it would make me feel like giving her something such as a sticker, toy, or a big hug! This would make her feel happier, and using this form of operant conditioning will shape her into a better person because she would most definitely want to continue with this behavior not just with me but with others also. I can also encourage Hoda using negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement is taking away something you do not like to increase the specific (or desired) behavior, to do this I would feel happy for her whenever she receives something even though she doesn’t like it.

    Link to reality: Both Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning and Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning can be used every day in an ECCE setting. Today many school systems and childhood authorities follow Skinner’s and Pavlov’s theory by using the approach of positive reinforcement. This encourages good behaviour in the child making the behaviour more likely to be repeated again as they are rewarded and praised for their efforts in reading, writing and general learning. It is important that children’s efforts in a learning setting are rewarded as this will encourage the child to perform to the best of their ability.
