Solution

Answer:

Positive reinforcement: positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future.

examples:

Negative reinforcement :

Negative reinforcement occurs when something already present is removed (taken away) as a result of a behaviour and the behaviour that led to this removal will increase in the future because it created a favourable outcome.

Examples :

Positive punishment :

Positive punishment works by presenting a negative consequence after an undesired behavior is exhibited, making the behavior less likely to happen in the future.

The following is the example of positive punishment: A child picks his nose during class and the teacher reprimands him in front of his classmates.

Negative punishment :

As for negative punishment, try to think of it as taking away a certain desired item after the undesired behavior happens in order to decrease future responses
