Reinforcers and punishers are used constantly in parenting and in classroom settings. While both concepts are termed consequences, one strengthens behaviors and one punishes behaviors (Powell, p. 232). In order for children to learn appropriate behavior, reinforcers and punishers are vital. By giving words of encouragement and rewarding “good” behavior, children will learn to reproduce that behavior. On the contrary, if we place a child in time-out or take away their free time because of a “bad” behavior, that behavior is less likely to be reproduced. I really enjoyed your video clip. For one, the show is super funny and also it really described the concepts well. Overall great post!<br /><br />Reference:<br /><br />Powell, R., Honey, P., Symbaluk, D. (2013).

I think it helps people have a better understanding to what operant conditioning is and a shows the difference between what negative and positive punishment are. In this clip it is shown that Sheldon is using positive punishment with Penny with chocolates. I like how you also mentioned that your teacher uses this as a way to help raise his children and I think most parents do use this if not should because it is a great way to change behavior.Jessica Petreccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210873030768091657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561500253484399755.post-64596120421851736522016-06-14T20:30:03.914-07:002016-06-14T20:30:03.914-07:00I really enjoyed that you included the video in yo...I really enjoyed that you included the video in your blog post.

I would have to agree with your teacher, after reading the chapters, understand now that I raise my children the way discussed in operant conditioning mostly of positive and negative reinforcement and positive punishment. Also i myself have seen the episode of TBBT that is a very good example that you attacked to your post. Very nice post helps for better understanding as well.<br />Thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452049982338229491noreply@blogger.com
