Teacher Praise: A Functional Analysis.

Brophy, Jere

Psychological Review, v88 n2 p93-134 Mar 1981

Teacher praise typically does not function as a reinforcer. Rather, it is reactive to and under the control of student behavior. Its effects must be understood using concepts from attribution and social learning/reinforcement theories. (Author/GK)
