What are the 4 Types of Reinforcement ✔✔1) Social positive
2)Automatic Positive
3) Social Negative
4)Automatic Negative
Positive Reinforcement ✔✔Something good is added to the environment to increase the future
frequency of a behavior
Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforcer is any
stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response.
Social positive (Positive Reinforcement) ✔✔Getting attention or access to something
(E.g. attention, praise, tangibles)
A positive interpersonal stimulus like verbal praise, smile, touch or a sign of approval. Compare
social punishment.
Automatic Positive (Positive Reinforcement) ✔✔Stimulating the sense
(E.g. Sensory Stimulation)
Self- Stimulatory behavior
These behaviors are not dependent upon social interaction or receiving a tangible item...the
behavior itself is reinforcing to the learner.
EXAMPLE: The behavior itself is reinforcing to the learner. Just think about when you get a
mosquito bite and it begins to itch. You don't need someone to give you a sip of juice, or to clap
and say "Yay!", in order to enjoy the scratching. Scratching the bite serves as its own
reinforcement. So in the future if you get bit by a bug again, you are likely to scratch that bite
again.
Social Negative Reinforcement ✔✔Increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli,
such as shock. A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when removed after a response,
strengthens the response. (Note: negative reinforcement is not punishment.)
Automatic Negative (Negative Reinforcement) ✔✔occurs when a behavior terminates an aversive
stimulus directly and the behavior is strengthened. The aversive stimulus is NOT terminated by
another individual.
occurs when a person gets away from something or avoids something as a result of their own
behavior (Self Rewarding)
Consequence Manipulation ✔✔* Provides reinforcers for the desirable behavior
* Eliminates reinforcers for the undesirable behaviors
* Eliminates punishers for the desirable behavior
* Provides punishers for the undesirable behaviors
* Use skills training procedures to teach desirable behaviors
Types of Consequence Manipulations ✔✔Extinction
Planned Ignoring
Deny Access to Tangible
Response Blocking/Redirection
Response Cost
Overcorrection
Time out
