Describe reinforcement theory. How can reinforcement facilitate quality improvements? What will ...

Reinforcement theory states that behavior appearing to lead to a positive consequence tends to be
repeated, while behavior appearing to lead to a negative consequence tends not to be repeated. A
positive consequence is rewarded. Praise and recognition are two of the most important rewards
used in training. Each segment of training should be sequentially organized so the individual can
see, not only its purpose, but also how it fits into the overall quality training program. Perfect
practice makes perfect, and bad practice will not make perfect. This is applicable to training in
the kitchen. Repeating a job task several times develops facility in performing it. Practice and
repetition almost always lead to effective training.

Good timing, thanks!
