What is the difference between reinforcement and feedback?

Answer 1

Feedback and reinforcement are important concepts in learning. Feedback involves to provide information about their responses to learners, whereas reinforcement is a tendency of the learner to make a specific response again. Feedback can be positive, negative or neutral; reinforcement is either positive (increases the response) or negative (decreases the response). Feedback is almost always considered external while reinforcement can be external or instrinsic (i.e., generated by the individual).

Answer 2

Reinforcement involves providing consequences to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated, such as rewards for positive behavior. Feedback, on the other hand, involves providing information about the performance of a task or behavior, which can be positive or corrective, to help improve future performance. Feedback does not always involve consequences like reinforcement does.
