Reinforcement
Reinforcement
Reinforcement happens when a good outcome follows a behavior, making you more likely to do that behavior again.
Details
Reinforcement occurs when a positive outcome follows a specific behavior, increasing how often that behavior happens.
There are two types: positive reinforcement (giving something good) and negative reinforcement (removing something unpleasant). Both have the effect of increasing behavior.
Try using reinforcement on yourself! When you reach a goal, give yourself a reward. Even a small reward can become a big source of motivation — Mindy believes in you.
💡 Real-Life Example
"Eating a delicious snack after studying makes you feel more motivated to study" — that's positive reinforcement.
