Behavior modification involves applying the principles of operant conditioning, such as positive reinforcement and punishment, to modify and improve behavior. Classical conditioning primarily involves learning associations between stimuli and responses, and is less commonly used in behavior modification. Negative punishment and reinforcement are specific types of operant conditioning techniques and are not comprehensive definitions of behavior modification.
