Example of Positive Reinforcement: Child's Chores
A common example of positive reinforcement in a family setting is rewarding a child for completing chores. For instance, if a five-year-old boy named Jerome is told he will get a new toy after cleaning his room, the toy acts as a desirable stimulus. This reward is added after the desired behavior is performed, thereby increasing the likelihood that he will clean his room in the future.
