Strengthening
Reinforcement is the process of increasing the likelihood of a behavior through the consequences that follow it.
Definition
Reinforcement may involve adding something desirable or removing something unpleasant. Therefore, some behaviors are perpetuated not by pleasure, but by relief. When working on habits, it is important to recognize what exactly reinforces the pattern: reward, peace, attention, avoidance of shame or sense of control.
