do you mean negative reinforcement?

it's like a grid right

  • positive = add
  • negative = remove
  • reinforcement = good thing
  • punishment = bad thing

so things that we want:

  • positive reinforcement = add good thing
  • negative punishment= remove bad thing

things we don't want

  • negative reinforcement= remove good thing
  • positive punishment= add bad thing

Close, but in operant conditioning, reinforcement encourages good behavior, and punishment discourages bad. So it's:

Positive reinforcement: add good thing in response to desirable behavior Negative reinforcement: remove bad thing in response to desirable behavior

Positive punishment: add bad thing in response to undesirable behavior Negative punishment: remove good thing in response to undesirable behavior

ah that's right, been a while since sociology courses lol
