Reinforcement means that when the consequence produces, it either strengthens the behavior or stops the behavior, there have four kinds of reinforcement such as positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Now, I would like to focus on positive and negative reinforcement. When we impose the events, which either add the desirable event or remove the undesirable event, then it reinforced the behaviors; the positive or negative reinforcement will strengthen our behaviors, from current to future.

There are many plans that can come into contact with this. A positive reinforcement during this process could be paying my son after mowing the grass and he understanding that every time he mows the grass, there is something in it for him. This gives him something to look forward to and a reason to want to mow the grass. Another example of positive reinforcement could be is I have actually had to teach a dog tricks
