Positive Reinforcement of animals



What is positive reinforcement? Positive reinforcement is a reward given following a desired behavior. Types of positive reinforcement include, a dog getting a treat for doing a trick, watching TV after doing your homework, or getting paid after working.

How does positive reinforcement work in the brain? 
The brain is trained to feed off of bursts of dopamine. Dopamine plays a major role in the motivational component of reward-motivated behavior.  The Mesolimbic Dopamine System is also known as the reward pathway.  This pathway is connected to the areas of the brain that controls memory and behavior.

  3. It's always better to use positive reinforcement rather than using force or violence. It just works so much better and boosts their improvements. Great job!

  4. Also, your blog title blends in with the background and the blog post title's wording is cut off, it just looks a little off

  6. Good information, but it's a little hard to read and I would change the title color if you keep the background.
