    Example: if a rat in a Skinner box gets food when it presses a lever, its rate of pressing will go up. Pressing the lever was positively reinforced. Pressing the lever was positively reinforced. Negative reinforcement (a.k.a. escape) occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus, thereby increasing the ...

    Contingency management (CM) is the application of the three-term contingency (or operant conditioning), which uses stimulus control and consequences to change behavior.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reward_system

    The reward system (the mesocorticolimbic circuit) is a group of neural structures responsible for incentive salience (i.e., "wanting"; desire or craving for a reward and motivation), associative learning (primarily positive reinforcement and classical conditioning), and positively-valenced emotions, particularly ones involving pleasure as a core component (e.g., joy, euphoria and ecstasy).

  7. Present bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_bias

    Present bias is the tendency to settle for a smaller present reward rather than wait for a larger future reward, in a trade-off situation. [1] [2] It describes the trend of overvaluing immediate rewards, while putting less worth in long-term consequences. [3]

  8. Compensation and benefits - Wikipedia

  9. Antecedent (behavioral psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antecedent_(behavioral...

    For example, in order to override antecedent 2, gain the students’ attention and immediately request something (e.g., a high five), before praising them and providing positive reinforcement. [15] This intervention fits in with the idea of classical conditioning, [ 3 ] as the child is rewarded with positive affirmation when they complete a task.
