What is the difference between positive reinforcement negative reinforcement and punishment?
Positive reinforcement is to add something to motivate a child to do the same thing again. While negative reinforcement is to remove or get something for the child to aim for the reward by completing the task. Punishment using positive and negative reinforcement can be very effective. If someone does something wrong, you want to set them a task that will help them make better decisions next time. To do that, you have to work out consequences. The best example I have is from my days of substituting kids who were in detention. When they first arrived, they had to write a paper outlining what they did and how they would avoid doing it again. It was amazing how many times it took them to honestly say what they did (without blaming others or circumstances) and to develop a plan for the future. It worked because there were no excuses.

How are positive and negative reinforcement similar and how are they different?
Positive reinforcement is when you reward someone (person, child, pet, etc.) when they do what you want them to, and you ignore them when they do what you don't want them to do. Negative reinforcement, I believe, is when you punish someone for doing what you don't want them to do. As far as their effectiveness, it seems that a combination of both is good. Positive reinforcement is essential, and negative reinforcement helps to round it out. It is, however, important to be careful with negative reinforcement because if you put too much attention on someone while trying to enact the punishment (IE, time out), then, subconsciously, they may enjoy even the negative attention and thus you will have a counterproductive effect.
What is the difference between punishment and negative reinforcement?
Punishment is any event that decreases the likelihood of something to occur while reinforcement is any event that increases this likelihood. Now negative reinforcement is going to increase the likelihood of something occurring by taking away an aversive stimuli. For example, if you do your homework now, you won't have to take out the trash later.Exploring Psychology by David Myer
The difference between positive punishment and negative punishment?
Positive punishment involves doing something that the person being punished will not like (for example: spanking, verbal rebuke, embarrassing the person in some way, etc). Negative punishment involves removing something that the person being punished does like (for example: taking away phone or TV, etc.).
What were BF Skinner's solutions to behavioral issues?
Try operant conditioning, ie giving positive feedback for the behavior you want to see and negative feedback for the behavior, neurosis, you don't. It takes some understanding of negative feedback to see how it would work. It isn't just taking away something that is meaningful for bad behavior. It is creating an experience as a means of teaching the person/animal not to repeat the behavior--the positive reinforcement is not present or, what worked before does not work again. "Reinforcers may be positive or negative. A positive reinforcer reinforces when it is presented; a negative reinforcer reinforces when it is withdrawn. Negative reinforcement is not punishment. Reinforcers always strengthen behavior; that is what "reinforced" means. Punishment is used to suppress behavior. It consists of removing a positive reinforcer or presenting a negative one. It often seems to operate by conditioning negative reinforcers. The punished person henceforth acts in ways which reduce the threat of punishment and which are incompatible with, and hence take the place of, the behavior punished." [A Brief Survey of Operant Behavior by B.F. Skinner ]
What are the key elements in operant conditioning?
Key elements in operant conditioning include reinforcement (positive or negative) and punishment, shaping behavior through reinforcement schedules, and the concept of extinction when the learned behavior is no longer reinforced. Additionally, operant conditioning involves the principles of stimulus control, generalization, and discrimination.
Positive reinforcement and negative punishment are?
Different in that positive reinforcement increases a behavior and negative punishment decreases a behavior
Is punishment a reinforcer?
Punishment is not a reinforcer. there is Negative Punishment and Positive Punishment, and also Negative Reinforcement and Positive Reinforcement.*Negative Punishment is a consequence withdrawn following a response that causes a behavior to occur with less frequency.*Negative Reinforcement is a consequence withdrawn following a response that causes a behavior to occur with greater frequency.*Positive Punishment is a consequence delivered following a response that causes a behavior to occur with less frequency.*Positive Reinforcement is a consequence delivered following a response that causes a behavior to occur with greater frequency.
What are the names of the behavior tools used?
positive and negative reinforcement and punishment
What four ways that managers can shape employees behavior?
Positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, or extinction.
Why do psychologists prefer reinforcement to punishment?
Psychologists prefer reinforcement over punishment because reinforcement focuses on encouraging desired behaviors through positive consequences, while punishment aims to decrease undesired behaviors through negative consequences. Reinforcement is generally more effective in promoting long-lasting behavior changes, as it reinforces positive behaviors rather than simply suppressing negative ones. Additionally, reinforcement promotes a more positive and nurturing environment compared to punishment, which can lead to negative emotions and potential resistance.

Different methods of shaping behavior?
Some methods of shaping behavior include positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Positive reinforcement involves rewarding desired behavior to increase its occurrence. Negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Punishment involves applying an aversive consequence to decrease an undesired behavior. Extinction involves withholding reinforcement to diminish a behavior.
Does both positive and negative reinforcement increase the frequency of responses?
Yes, both do. Negative reinforcement is quicker but positive reinforcement is more permanent.
Is a time out a negative punishment?
Yes, it's negative reinforcement. By not wanting a behavior to happen again the child is being punished, positive reinforcement would be showing the child what they should do and then rewarding them when they do that. That will deter away from unwanted behavior.
Are seat belt buzzers a negative or positive reinforcement?
Negative reinforcement. It's buzzing to tell you something is wrong. If you got a reward for having your seatbelt on, it would be positive reinforcement.
How are positive and negative reinforcement alike?
Positive and negative reinforcement both call attention to a situation. For many, negative attention is more desirable than no attention. Negative reinforcement is generally quicker than positive, yet the positive is so very important for development including self esteem.
