Compare and contrast positive reinforcement with positive punishment and negative reinforcement with negative punishment

What will be an ideal response?

Positive reinforcement refers to the presentation of a stimulus that increases the probability that a behavior will occur again. A positive reinforcer is a stimulus that increases the likelihood that a response will occur again.

Negative reinforcement refers to an aversive (that is, unpleasant) stimulus whose removal increases the likelihood that the preceding response will occur again.

Positive punishment refers to presenting an aversive (unpleasant) stimulus after a response. The aversive stimulus decreases the chances that the response will recur.

Negative punishment refers to removing a reinforcing stimulus after a response. This removal decreases the chances that the response will recur.
