REINFORCEMENT
• Anything that increases the likelihood that a certain response will occur.
NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
• Negative reinforcement serves to encourage a certain positive behavior by taking away a negative stimulus.
• Example: If someone does something wrong, they get a thumbs down. Then they know they did something wrong.
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
• Positive reinforcement involves anything that follows a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future.
• Example: If someone does something right, they get thumbs up. Then they know that they did something right and they will continue to do so.
PUNISHMENT
• Any change that occurs after a behavior that reduces the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.
NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT
• Negative punishment occurs when something desired is taken away as a consequence of a certain behavior.
• Example: A dog uses the bathroom on the carpet. To punish the dog, the owner takes away the dog’s toys. .Hopefully the dog will learn his lesson
POSITIVE PUNISHMENT
• Presenting an unfavorable outcome or event following an undesirable behavior.
• Example: A mother tell her daughter that if she gets in trouble again, then she will get a spanking.
