What is Reinforcement Reinforcement is the process in which an
occurrence of a behaviour is followed by a consequence that results
in an increase in the future probability of the behaviour (Martin

(i.e. computers?) Does the student like to have conversations about
a special interest? Does the student bring a toy to school? Home
