    Study Notes

    Reinforcement and Punishment

    Positive Reinforcement

    • The presentation of a stimulus that increases the future probability of a behavior occurring in the same or similar situations.
    • The purpose of positive reinforcement is to increase the frequency or probability of a behavior.
    • Example: A child cleans their room and as a result, they receive praise and a sticker.

    Negative Reinforcement

    • The removal of an unpleasant or aversive stimulus that increases the future probability of a behavior occurring in the same or similar situations.
    • The purpose of negative reinforcement is to increase the frequency or probability of a behavior.
    • Example: A person takes an aspirin to relieve a headache. The removal of the headache increases the probability of taking aspirin in the future.

    Positive Punishment

    • The presentation of an unpleasant or aversive stimulus that decreases the future probability of a behavior occurring in the same or similar situations.
    • The purpose of positive punishment is to decrease the frequency or probability of a behavior.
    • Example: A child touches a hot stove and gets burned. The pain decreases the probability of the child touching the stove again.

    Negative Punishment

    • The removal of a pleasant or desirable stimulus that decreases the future probability of a behavior occurring in the same or similar situations.
    • The purpose of negative punishment is to decrease the frequency or probability of a behavior.
    • Example: A child misbehaves and as a result, their favorite toy is taken away.

    Extinction

    • The removal of a reinforcer or stimulus that decreases the future probability of a behavior occurring in the same or similar situations.
    • The purpose of extinction is to decrease the frequency or probability of a behavior.
    • Example: A child throws a tantrum to get attention, but the parent ignores the behavior. The lack of attention decreases the probability of the child throwing a tantrum in the future.
