BSED-SOCIAL STUDIES

1. Reinforcing a behavior with incentives or penalties will reoccur in the future. Positive reinforcement
increases a reaction by offering something nice after the response, whereas negative reinforcement
strengthens a response by diminishing or removing something unpleasant. Punishment, on the other
hand, is defined as any occurrence that weakens or diminishes the chance of a behavior occurring.
Positive punishment diminishes a reaction by following it with something unpleasant, whereas negative
punishment weakens a response by diminishing or eliminating something nice. When the individual who
administers the punishment leaves the scene, the undesirable conduct is likely to reoccur. Other forms
of learning are influenced by reinforcement and punishment. When something happens just after a
behavior, it can either enhance or decrease the probability that the behavior will happen again.That is
how the brain develops the circuits that we may refer to as "learning" or "habitual behavior." The brain
must learn how to use energy more efficiently. If it didn't learn and form habits, it would have to repeat
every step of every task every time it encountered a new environment. That is both inefficient and time-
consuming. As a result, if an action or input is repeated, the brain assumes it will be needed again and
"learns" it. If the reinforcement ceases, the brain will not learn anything and may even destroy what it
has previously learnt (particularly as we become older), because the brain requires neural activity to do
other tasks. Because there was insufficient repetition, the award or punishment would be considered
temporary.

2. OC may sometimes have the opposite impact than was intended. In general, this problem occurs
when the adult (or other person providing reinforcement) fails to take a clear look at the circumstance
or fails to grasp OC. For example, how often have you witnessed a youngster in a school acting out, and
the instructor shouts at him/her to cease whatever behavior it is? The youngster temporarily ceases the
activity, but then resumes it. Frequently, the youngster is now engaging in more of the behavior! The
youngster may be behaving for a variety of reasons, including a need for attention, a desire to boost his
popularity with the other children, or even acting (unconsciously) to support a negative view about him.

3. The efficacy of punishment vs reward in classroom management is a continuing concern for


educators. Both strategies give teachers with power when dealing with unruly and self-motivated kids.
Before deciding whether to inspire students with prizes or manage with consequences, you should
investigate both options.The Positive Side of Penalties When rules are not followed, educators
frequently pick punishments. When the school year begins, they lay out the rules and identify the
consequences if the rules are not followed. The penalties, or repercussions, generally consist of
withholding something that the pupil appreciates. A troublesome kid, for example, may be held in at
recess or served detention after school. A student who regularly distracts his friends from learning will
be discouraged if he knows he will not receive a class reward at the conclusion of the semester.
