Reinforcement Schedule

Assalamualaikum,

i'll continue on the reinforcement subject matter. Reinforcemnet schedule is divided into two; continous reinforcement and intermittent reinforcement.

today i'll discuss about the Continous Reinforcement.

it means that every response is reinforced or rewarded. in other words, every actions that were percieved as good will be rewarded. therefore if we would apply it in our memorizing schedule, every page that we memorize each day should be rewarded either by someone else or by oneself. by letting you play game for half an hour after you had finish memorizing a page.

i remember when my nephew and niece stayed over at my parents for the school holidays, i taught them qiraah, the iqra. they are about 6 & 7 years old, still learning how to read the arabic alphabets. they were quite reluctant and lazy to learn and read. so i gave them sweets everytime after we finish reading 1 page a day. it continues everyday like this, he even added 2 more pages as we go on. but later on my sister took over teaching them the iqra and she didn't reward them with anything, so they say that : cik anna used to give us sweets sp where's our sweets?
but my sister never did give them anything. so later on their will to read faded instantly.

hope this will help you understand more....
