    Close, but in operant conditioning, reinforcement encourages good behavior, and punishment discourages bad. So it’s:

    Positive reinforcement: add good thing in response to desirable behavior Negative reinforcement: remove bad thing in response to desirable behavior

    Positive punishment: add bad thing in response to undesirable behavior Negative punishment: remove good thing in response to undesirable behavior
