All we need to know in order to describe and
explain behavior is this; actions followed by good
outcomes are likely to recur and actions followed
by bad outcomes are less likely to recur.”
-(Skinner, 1953)
Positive Reinforcers
●are favorable events or outcomes that are given to
the individual after the desired behavior which may
come in the form of praise, rewards, etc.
Negative Reinforcers
•characterized by the removal of an undesired or
unpleasant outcome after the desired behavior. A
response is strengthened as something considered
negative is removed.
Positive Punishment
●adding a negative consequence after an undesired
behavior to decrease future responses
Negative Punishment
•taking away a desired item after the undesired
behavior happens in order to decrease future
responses.
