  • Reinforcement is meant to increase the frequency of a behavior.
  • In operant conditioning, the term "positive" means adding a pleasing stimulus to increase behavior.
  • Punishment is meant to decrease the frequency of a behavior.
  • In operant conditioning, the term "negative" means removing a pleasing stimulus or adding an unpleasant one to decrease behavior.
  • A deliberate action in operant conditioning is called a response.
