1). A positive reinforcement is something the exposed wants such as food, praise or whatever else. An example of positive reinforcement would be a mother or father gives their child praise (positive stimulus) for doing their chores (behavior). The child receives an allowance of $15.00 (positive stimulus) for every A or B he or she earn on their report card (behavior). In an article called “Implicit Reinforcement of Responses” by Lee Sechrest worked on the effect on children working in pairs of either positive or negative reinforcement managed by their pairmates. Two groups of fifteen pair of children each pair experience involving time taken to solve two puzzles. From the two puzzles one randomly chosen would either be positively or negatively verbally reinforced. A control group of fifteen pairs were run without reinforcement. All children worked on the same two puzzles but in different orders. In the explicit reinforcement group one of the two children was randomly told “my, you did very well with your puzzle. That was good work. Now we are going to work another one”. In the explicit negative
