AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In Operant Conditioning Theory, there are essentially four quadrants: Positive Reinforcement, Positive Punishment, Negative Reinforcement, and Negative Punishment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive reinforcement involves the presentation of an appetitive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future. For example, if your child does chores without being asked you can reward them by taking them to a park or handing them a treat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Positive and negative reinforcement both are used to strengthen a desired behavior. Both forms of reinforcement, as the name would suggest, reinforce a certain behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -With negative reinforcement, something uncomfortable or otherwise unpleasant is taken away in response to a stimulus. Over time, the target behavior should increase with the expectation that the unpleasant thing will be taken away.
