Clearly differentiate between reinforcement and punishment
What will be an ideal response?
Skinner's principle of reinforcement holds that organisms tend to repeat those responses that are followed by favorable consequences, or reinforcement. Skinner defined reinforcement as when an event following a response increases an organism's tendency to make that response. Punishment occurs when an event following a response weakens the tendency to make that response.
