Detailed explanation-1: -We know that a reward is something pleasant that we might work to get. What is the difference between a reward and a reinforcement? The difference is that anything that follows a behaviour and increases the likelihood that the behaviour will be more likely to occur is a reinforcement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rewards are tangible things chosen *for* the individual as opposed to *by* the individual, so their effect is hit or miss; reinforcements, on the other hand, are chosen by the individual instead of for them, hence increasing the probability of desired results.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is false-a negative reinforcement is a type of punishment to decrease a behaviour.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following statements is true of reinforcement theory? It holds that punishment and extinction diminish undesirable behavior.
