Stars and Stickers. Should elementary school children receive material rewards for performance and cooperation? Imagine that you are a parent and that you have a child in the first grade. You have received a notice from the principal of the school that a program of tangible rewards (buttons, stickers, stars, bags of popcorn, cookies) is being considered. The notice compares tangible rewards for the children with the pay adults get for work. From what we know about behaviorism, is this a good idea? Explain why the extensive use of tangible rewards may backfire in this situation.

Explanation / Answer

Extensive use of tangible rewards backfires at times. The possible cause may be development of lack of motivation in kids. Instead of using tangible rewards we may encourage the child by using positive language. When we use positive language the child gets encouraged more. The child don't lack motivation in this situation. Thus an expected reward reduces the spontaneous interest. While suprise rewards work better.
