Why Negative Reinforcement is Actually Quite Positive!

Association eLearning

They believe that since positive reinforcement means rewarding someone then negative reinforcement must mean punishing someone. I’d like to clear this up right now. The concepts of negative and positive reinforcement (and negative and positive punishment, which we will get to in a second) came from B.F.

So, I’d roughly (and generously) estimate that the ratio is around 80:20 for content: practice.
