Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Positive Reinforcement? 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. The reinforcing stimulus is a positive reinforcer.

Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular response or behavior will be strengthened.

Negative reinforcement: removing a factor to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior. The main point to be noted is that in both strategies, the goal is to increase the likelihood of desired behavior.
