A friend of yours punishes his toddler all the time because he refuses to share with his twin brother.
Using the information you learned in the lecture about reinforcement this week, which reinforcement method would be the most effective to change his son’s behavior instead of punishment?
Use the questions below as a guide to develop your essay answering the question – “Which reinforcer would be the most effective to change a toddler’s behavior?”
- What is a primary reinforcer and would this type of reinforcer be effective in changing a toddler’s behavior?
- What is a secondary reinforcer and would this type of reinforcer be effective in changing a toddler’s behavior?
- What is a token reinforcer and would this type of reinforcer be effective in changing a toddler’s behavior?
