Reinforcement Vs. Punishment

 

     Reinforcer: Anything that increases the likelihood of the response.

 

          Positive Reinforcement -- present a positive stimulus following the behavior.

          Negative Reinforcement -- remove a noxious stimulus following the behavior.

 

     Punishment: Reduces likelihood of response

 

          Positive: present negative stimulus

          Negative: remove positive stimulus (ex. Time Out)

b.           punishment = aversive, undesirable

c.            Code: Positive=application (added)whereas Negative=connotes withdrawl or subtraction.
