Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Negative Reinforcement

Terms to be used in negative reinforcement: You've got to walk faster than that. You're so slow! Why do you walk like that? Did you learn how to walk yesterday? You're doing terrible. Who walks like that? You have potential but you don't use it. You'll never amount to anything. You're not putting very much effort into this. This is the worst pace you've had yet.

BEHAVIORAL

Positive Reinforcement

Terms to be used in positive reinforcement: Good job, you're doing awesome! Keep up the good work! You've got this! You're almost done, just a few more minutes! That's a great pace! You're going strong! Keep it up! Nice work. Great job! Good stuff. Keep it up. You're doing an amazing job.
