Positive reinforcement is when a pleasant or desirable event or stimulus is provided after a response, increasing the likelihood of that response occurring again in the future. Bribe implies a negative or unethical use of reward, whereas negative reinforcement involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus to increase a response. Conditioned stimulus refers to a previously neutral stimulus that now elicits a particular response due to its association with another stimulus.
