1. Example: When I was in middle school, I didn't like to do my homework. I had mostly C's and D's in my classes. My mom started to give me $5 for every A I got on my report cards. I started to do better in school because it meant I would get money that I could use to buy music on iTunes with (yes, I had to buy songs on iTunes!!). My mom used operant conditioning on me and positively reinforced me by giving me money so that I would do better in my classes.
