Operant Conditioning


Positive Reinforcement: This is possibly the easiest, most effective consequence for a trainer to control and easy to understand. Positive reinforcement means starting or adding Something Good, something the animal likes or enjoys.

Negative Reinforcement: Negative reinforcement increases a behavior by ending or taking away Something Bad or aversive. By making the animal's circumstances better, you are rewarding it and increasing the likelihood that it will repeat the behavior that was occurring when you ended the Bad Thing.

Positive Punishment: Postive punishment is often confused because people think it it good because positive means good but it also means to add. this is when you make something to add to the person you are punishing.

Negative Punishment: Negative is when you take away something from the person you are ounishing. it is the most commonly used by all of the parents with kids.
