positive reinforcement
something is added to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is added to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
positive reinforcement
negative reinforcement
something is removed to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is removed to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
negative reinforcement
positive punishment
something is added to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is added to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
positive punishment
negative punishment
something is removed to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is removed to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
negative punishment
three-term contingency
A-B-C
basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior

three-term contingency
difficulty of positive vs negative reinforcement
e.g. turning up heat adds heat also removes cold

solutions to difficulty
define key stimulus features (before the stimulus change and after the stimulus change)
