Nonverbal reinforcement is a form of social reinforcement that is delivered as a nonverbal communication. Such reinforcers would include nods of approval, smiles of delight, pats on the back etc
In the training and conditioning in humans as well as some other species there is a general tendency to move from verbal prompts and reinforcers to their nonverbal counterparts before their complete withdrawal.
