Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive reinforcers are rewards or stimuli that follow a desired behavior and increase the probability of that behavior being repeated. This is in contrast to negative reinforcers, which involve the removal of a negative stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Positive punishment involves the application of an unpleasant consequence to decrease a behavior, while negative punishment involves the removal of a desirable consequence to decrease a behavior.
