positive reinforcement.

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a type of reinforcement, and it means giving a thing to a person as a reward after performing a desired action or work.

Examples of positive reinforcement include giving biscuit to a child as an encouragement or compensation for a job well done and getting paid for a completed task.

Other types of reinforcement are

* Negative reinforcement ... removing something negative to increasing a response,

* Punishment reinforcement ... means addition of something aversive to decrease a behavior,

* Extinction reinforcement ... is the removal of a thing to decrease a behavior.

In this case, the $10.00 received by kelly for every 110 clowns she completed, is an example of positive reinforcement.
