Correct Answer:

Reinforcement procedures strengthen or increase a behavior and punishments reduce the chances that the behavior will recur. Reinforcers or punishers may either be added (positive) or removed (negative). Therefore, a positive reinforcement is something that is added to strengthen or increase the likelihood a behavior recurs. In contrast a negative punishment is when something is removed to reduce the chance a behavior will be repeated.
