Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

In operant conditioning, positive and negative don't mean great and awful. All things considered, positive means you are adding something, and negative means you are removing something. Reinforcement implies you are expanding a conduct, and discipline implies you are diminishing a conduct. Reinforcement can be positive or negative, and discipline can likewise be positive or negative. All reinforcers (positive or negative) improve the probability of a social reaction. All punishers (positive or negative) decline the probability of a social reaction.
