AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Many pet parents may not even know what negative reinforcement looks like when training a dog or puppy. Some examples of negative training include physical punishment, yelling, shock collars, use of squirt bottles and leash correction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Negative punishment is the opposite of positive punishment. It’s when you take something away from the child until the unwanted behavior changes. An easy example of negative punishment is taking away some sort of toy from the child if they are not staying on task or performing the preferred behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Negative reinforcement refers to an animal becoming more likely to perform a behaviour in the future when trying to avoid or remove something unpleasant1. To teach using negative reinforcement, it is necessary to provide a stimulus to the animal that is unpleasant enough that it cannot be ignored.

Detailed explanation-4: -In negative reinforcement, removing something aversive increases the likelihood that a behavior will recur. For example, negative reinforcement is used when a trainer teaches a dog to come on command by persistently pulling on the leash and then releasing pressure as soon as the dog takes a step toward the trainer.
