"正强化的实施方式比数量更重要"
— B. F. Skinner
Simplified Meaning:
How you give praise or rewards matters more than how much of it you give. Imagine a teacher telling a student, "Good job!" after every task. If it's said without enthusiasm, the student may not feel encouraged. But if the teacher looks the student in the eye and says, "I'm so proud of you for solving that difficult problem! Great effort!" it can boost the student's confidence much more. In our daily lives, when we appreciate someone's efforts with genuine words and actions, it can have a stronger impact than giving a lot of empty praises. For example, thanking a friend with heartfelt words and a hug for helping you can mean more than just buying them a gift without showing real appreciation. This idea can help us build stronger relationships and motivate others more effectively by showing we truly value and notice their efforts.
