Reinforcement theory suggests that a behavior can be strengthened when good events or positive consequences follow and reduced when undesirable events or negative consequences follow. Reinforcement can be positive or negative: positive reinforcement adds a desirable stimulus, while negative reinforcement removes an undesirable stimulus. Punishment has two forms: positive punishment adds an unpleasant consequence, and negative punishment removes something desirable. Reinforcement encourages a behavior, while punishment aims to reduce it. Positive reinforcement adds a desirable stimulus, negative reinforcement removes an undesirable stimulus, positive punishment adds an unpleasant consequence, and negative punishment removes something desirable.

The four types of reinforcement include:
Positive reinforcement: This involves adding something to increase response, such as praising a child when they complete a designated task.
Negative reinforcement: This involves removing something to increase response, such as withholding payment until the person completes the job.
Punishment: This involves adding something aversive to modify behavior.
Extinction: This involves removing or taking away something to modify a certain response.
