kaidah Premack

Explanation:
Kalau dalam konteks psikologi,

Premack Principle
The Premack Principle, often called "grandma's rule," states that a high frequency activity can be used to reinforce low frequency behavior. Access to the preferred activity is contingent on completing the low-frequency behavior. The high frequency behavior to use as a reinforcer can be determined by:
1. asking students what they would like to do;
2. observing students during their free time; or
3. determing what might be expected behavior for a particular age group.
