significant concept in behaviorism is reinforcement. It is a process in which the outcomes of an activity reinforce that behavior. It can be divided into one or two groups. The first is positive reinforcement, which means giving a favorable stimulus to encourage a behavior that you want. Let us take our home as an example when a parent tells their child to keep their room clean. Every time the child keeps their room clean, the parent rewards them, such as with more playtime or a favorite goodie. The youngster is more likely to tidy their room in the future because they think that doing so will lead to a beneficial outcome, thanks to the positive reinforcement and rewards.

Negative reinforcement, on the other hand, works by getting rid of something that is bothering you to encourage a behavior you want. Think about a parent who asks their child to tidy their room regularly. If the child finishes the task, the parent will take away a chore that the child dislikes, such as doing dishes. The child thinks cleaning will eliminate the work they don't like, so they clean their room more often. In this scenario, the removal of an unpleasant duty, such as washing dishes, praises the child's room-cleaning behavior. Therefore, both forms of reinforcement increase the likelihood of repeating the desired cleaning behavior.

In short, Skinner's behaviorist approach emphasizes the significant impact of the environment on behavior, with instructors having the most profound effect on children.
