71
explain the differences between positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment
are ideas in operant conditioning
BOTH positive and negative REINFORCEMENT work to INCREASE the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated, just in different ways--> positive reinforcement involves GIVING something to increase likelihood of a behaviour, and NEGATIVE reinforcement involves taking something AWAY to increase likelihood of a behaviour
positive and negative punishment are the same ideas but involve trying to DECREASE the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated
72
