Now that we're talking about Operant Conditioning, learner's choice, where they emit a behavior (response) first, in order to get/avoid a stimulus (reinforcement/punishment), let's take it slow and spend this discussion providing examples of Reinforcements and Punishments. 

I'd like you each to come up with training scenarios in which you're trying to decide which reinforcements or punishments to administer in order to get learning to take place. You'll provide a sample of a desired behavior (remember it can be an increase in the behavior or a decrease in the behavior that you're trying to accomplish) for each of the following (please use bullet points!):

• Positive Reinforcement
• Negative Reinforcement
• Positive Punishment
• Negative Punishment

Remember that positive doesn't equal good and negative doesn't equal bad. In Operant Conditioning, positive means "added on" and negative means "taken away".
