How could a parent use operant conditioning to motivate their 9th grade child to move from a “C” student to an “A” student? In your response, please provide examples using positive and negative reinforcement and punishment. (Your response should be approximately 30-50 words for each of the four responses) A parent could use operant conditioning to motivate their 9th grade child to move from a "C" student to an "A" student four different ways. One way is positive reinforcement, presenting a motivating item after the desired behavior is shown, the parent could promise the child money if they become an "A" student. A second way is negative reinforcement which is when a certain stimulus is removed after a particular behavior is exhibited, the parent could nag all day to their child about the grade and as the outcome the child may become an "A" student because they don't want to be annoyed. Reinforcement is used to help increase the probability that a specific behavior will occur by delivering or removing a stimulus after the behavior is shown. Punishment is a process by which a consequence immediately follows a behavior, hopefully decreasing the undesired behavior. The third option is positive punishment which is presenting a consequence after the undesired behavior so that the behavior will not happen again, if you're child stays a "C" student, then you can go sit with your child in class and follow your child around to embarrass them. The final way is a negative punishment which is when a certain reinforcing stimulus is removed after a particular undesired behavior is shown, so if your child stays as a "C" student then you take them out of their favorite activity. Students will learn to alter their behavior either due to punishment or reward. A 'C' student could be changed to an 'A' student with operant conditioning.

Positive reinforcement: A parent could use money as a motivator for the student. Every time the student gets an A, the student will receive money. If he gets lower than an A he will receive nothing at all. Negative reinforcement: A parent could use chores as a motivator. If the student does well, he/she will not have to do chores for a week. Positive punishment: A parent could use chores again. If the student does poorly, he/she will be given chores as a punishment. Negative punishment: A parent could take away phone, computer, or WIFI. If the student does poorly, he/she will be punished by having his things taken away. There are many ways a parent can use operant conditioning to teach their children to do better in school and go from a “C” student to an “A” student. Operant conditioning is a technique created by a famous psychologist B. F. Skinner. Operant conditioning is a theory that is based on the idea that learning is a function of change in behavior. The change in one's behavior is the result of an individual's response to the environment around them.

One way a parent can get their child to

become an “A” student with using techniques within operant conditioning is with positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is when you are adding something to a situation to reinforce the behavior that you want. For example you can tell the child with every test grade that comes back with a 90 or above you will give them a game for their xbox. You are reinforcing the behavior (making the behavior occur again) by giving the child an incentive to keep getting 90s because he will get a new game for his grade.

Another way a parent can get

their child on an “A” grade track in school is with Negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement is when you are taking away something to reinforce the behavior. Just because it is

negative does not mean that it is a consequence or a punishment. For example you would tell the child that if they do their homework and they get 100s on everyone you will take one chore away from them a week. You are rewarding the behavior of getting 100s on homework with taking something the child hates away from them. This will ensure the child does their homework.

A

third way a parent can make their child a better student in school is with Positive punishment. Positive punishment is when you present a negative consequence after a behavior you do not want, which will make the behavior less likely to occur. For example if the child doesn’t study at least 5 days before a big exam you will lecture them and yell at them for not doing the responsible thing. This will make the child want to study to not hear their parents again.

A

parent can also use something called negative punishment to try and get their child to do better in school. Negative punishment is part of operant conditioning and refers to the idea that a desired item is taking away from a child after an undesired behavior occurs, resulting in the behavior happening less often in the future. For a child that really is obsessed with their iphone. If they do not pay attention in class you can take their iphone away from them and let them not use it for as many days as you want.

Operant conditioning has been tested and is used in many different

cases and scenarios and can work for a parent to get their child to an “A” grade. The parent just have to know the difference between the four ideas and implement them the best they see fit. How could a parent use operant conditioning to motivate their 9th grade child to move from a “C” student to an “A” student? In your response, please provide examples using positive and negative reinforcement and punishment. (Your response should be approximately 30-50 words for each of the four responses) Positive Reinforcement: (Add the things they life) If you want your child to be an A student rather than a C you could reward them by giving then $10 if they get an A on their next test. This will work by presenting a motivating stimulus to the child after a

desired behavior is preformed making it more likely to happen in the future. Negative Reinforcement: Think of it as taking something negative away in order to increase a response so a way for a child to earn a better grade would be to tell them they don't have to do their chores on Thursday if they score a higher score on their test. Negative Reinforcement: (Take away the things that they don’t like) As a parent how wants to children to do better in their classes I wall Take away their turn of cleaning or Take away their turn of shopping for the house. Positive Punishment: (Add the things they don’t like) Works by presenting an aversive consequence after an undesired behavior is shown, making the behavior less likely to happen in the future. To make a child get better grades a parent would maybe give them more chores to do around the house if they don't get their grades up. Negative punishment: (Take away things that they like) Works in a way where punishment happens when a certain reinforcing stimulus is removed after bad behavior is shown and the resulting behavior will happen less often. To get your child to obtain better grade you can take away their cell phone or television for a week. Operant conditioning was defined as “learning that a behavior leads to a particular outcome”.Parents can use this type of learning by administering rewards and punishments that could possibly motivate their children. Ways of doing this is through;

Positive Reinforcement: parents complimenting their child every time the child gets a good score or standing. In this manner, the child will most likely be motivated to continue on the same behavior or to be consistent in getting good grades.

Negative Reinforcement: parents take off child’s “no cellphone after 6pm rule” as long as he or she keeps his or her grades high. In this way, the parents are taking away something unpleasant

or restrictions to promote behavior or good academic performance.

Positive Punishment: when the child did not achieve the expected grade from school, he or she will wash the dishes and do other household chores. This kind of example aims to lessen a behavior and introduce something unpleasant after the behavior.

Negative Punishment: Child was spending too much time on his or her phone instead of reviewing for an upcoming exam so the parents forbade her to use it after the exam is finished. Parents punished their child and decrease a behavior and is taking off something pleasant after the

behavior....
