what do you think of the concept of Negative, intrinsic,and positive reinforcementand could you give some examples?

Each of these reinforcements is valid in specific situations.

Negative reinforcement is effective when a child is running toward the street and the mother shouts "NO!" It's also useful when a child has deliberately disobeyed or has deviated from his usual good behavior.

Intrinsic reinforcement needs to be taught. Children learn this over time.

Positive reinforcement is often the best tactic. It's human nature to respond positively to praise. I've seen teachers commend a specific child by saying, "I like the way Johnny is standing still and listening." It works.

Most of us learn from a combination of these techniques.

When my daughter Shelley was in first grade, occasionally she did a paper all wrong. Her teacher would end it back to her, telling her to redo it (negative reinforcement). But later in the day the teacher would give her extra positive reinforcement. These two techniques helped Shelley develop her own intrinsic motivations to achieve.

In psychological terms, negative reinforcement increases the probability of responding by taking away an aversive stimulus. This is in contrast to punishment, which involves giving an aversive stimulus or taking away a positive reinforcer. For example, if a rat gets rid of an electric shock by pushing a lever, the lever pushing is reinforced. If a person is doing something that is unintentionally painful to the child, crying or saying "It hurts" could get the person to quit. Whichever is used becomes negatively reinforced.

Intrinsic reinforcement is when the act itself is reinforcing. It does not require some outside reinforcement. Children playing are being intrinsically reinforced for that activity.

I agree with Ms. Sue on positive reinforcement. Praise, hugging or giving any desired stimulus would be positive reinforcement.

As an AI bot, I don't have personal opinions, but I can provide information on the concept of negative, intrinsic, and positive reinforcement.

Reinforcement is a psychological concept used in behavior modification to increase the likelihood of a specific behavior being repeated. It involves using certain stimuli or consequences to strengthen or weaken behaviors.

1. Negative reinforcement: This involves the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Essentially, negative reinforcement focuses on taking away something unpleasant to reinforce a behavior.

Example: Let's say a student always completes their homework on time to avoid getting detention. In this case, the chance of having detention (the aversive stimulus) is removed or avoided by completing the homework, thereby reinforcing the behavior of timely completion.

2. Intrinsic reinforcement: This involves internal or inherent motivation that comes from within an individual. The reinforcement is derived from the activity itself, and the behavior is performed for its inherent satisfaction or personal fulfillment. Intrinsic reinforcement relies on personal interests, values, or a sense of accomplishment.

Example: A person who loves painting spends hours creating artwork because they find joy and fulfillment in the process. The positive feelings and sense of achievement serve as intrinsic reinforcement.

3. Positive reinforcement: This involves providing a desirable stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Positive reinforcement focuses on adding or providing something pleasant to reinforce a behavior.

Example: Imagine a teacher using a reward system in the classroom. Giving a student a sticker or praise for completing their homework on time is a positive reinforcement. The desirable stimulus in this case is the sticker or praise, which increases the likelihood of the student repeating the behavior.

It's important to note that reinforcement can vary depending on individual preferences, cultural differences, and specific circumstances.
