Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement involves adding a rewarding stimulus (e.g., a bonus) in order to increase a positive behavior (e.g., productivity). Negative reinforcement involves reducing an aversive stimulus (e.g., a crowded office setting) in order to increase a positive behavior (e.g., productivity).
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four types of positive reinforcers: natural, tangible, social, and token. Positive reinforcement can be delivered in experiments as part of a partial fixed schedule.
Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement aims to increase desired behavior by adding a favorable stimulus right after that behavior occurs. It is rewarding someone for what they do, and this reward encourages them to do it again.
