Reinforcement and Punishment

Description
The key distinction between reinforcement and punishment is that reinforcers, no matter what they are, increase behavior. Punishment involves a decrease in behavior, regardless of what the specific punisher may be. Thus, both reinforcement and punishment are defined based on their effects on behavior.
