Editing Reinforcement (section)

= '''Challenges''' =
The main problem about reinforcement(also the main problem about behaviorism since reinforcement is the key idea of behaviorism) is its definition. The definition itself is “impossible to test the idea that reinforcement causes behavior to be repeated”<ref name=":0" />, because it is a circular definition. “Reinforcement is any consequence of behavior that increases the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated in the future”<ref name=":0" />, is trying to define the results of behavior by behavior. In this case, Martinez declared that “ it is not a conclusion; rather, it is an assumption— an assumption, by the way, that can accommodate any evidence because it is not data-dependent”<ref name=":0" />. Of course, we can see that all of the above sections prove that behaviorism or reinforcement is work, but whether a circular definition as a definition can be accepted depends on each person's different ideas. Academically, it is very difficult to admit. From my personal point of view, because there are a lot of reinforcement examples in real life, even though I also question the definition, that doesn't stop it from existing and its value in education.
