Positive reinforcement consists of behavior results in the
delivery of something that the recipient likes. Reinforcement is a procedure
that strengthens a behavior, and punishment is a procedure that weakens a
punishment. We learned in chapter 6 that there are two main types of
consequences in operant conditioning: reinforces and punishers. When dealing
with training an animal for an example, if the response is followed by a reinforce,
then it would be considered that means that a contingency of reinforcement
exists. This means that the delivery of the reinforce is contingent upon
response. If in the situation the response is followed by a punisher, then a
contingency of punishment exists. Reinforcement and punishment are further divided
into two punishments positive and negative. Positive reinforcement consists of
a presentation of a stimuli’s. Negative reinforcement would be the opposite,
removal of the stimulus.
There will be a time in everyone’s life that they will be
dealing with positive and negative reinforcement, it can be with a child or
even training an animal.
