Detailed explanation-1: -In Operant Conditioning Theory, there are essentially four quadrants: Positive Reinforcement, Positive Punishment, Negative Reinforcement, and Negative Punishment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Grounding is neither positive nor negative reinforcement. The purpose of reinforcement is to increase the likelihood that a behavior will occur in the future. Grounding, on the other hand, is intended to decrease the likelihood that an undesired behavior will reoccur.
Detailed explanation-3: -This procedure is usually called simply reinforcement. Negative reinforcement (a.k.a. escape) occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus, thereby increasing the original behavior’s frequency.
Detailed explanation-4: -An example of positive reinforcement is: A child receives money for doing chores. Negative reinforcement is where instead of being rewarded with an item for making positive choices, and item or stimulus is removed after a specific behavior is shown.
