Reinforcement is a process that allows a behavior to be repeated in the future through positive recognition. On the other hand, punishment is a process that prevents the repetition of a certain behavior due to its negative consequences. Reinforcement is divided into two forms; positive and negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement reinforces individual behavior through encouraging or satisfying stimuli. Negative reinforcement is “an increase in behavior that results from the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus” (Pearson, Chapter 6, p. 222). Unlike reinforcement, punishment is designed to curb or discourage unwanted behavior. Punishment can also be classified into two categories: presentation punishment and dismissal punishment. These were supposed to have the opposite effect of positive and negative reinforcement. In fact, presentation punishment serves to decrease an individual's behavior by implementing a stimulus while withdrawal punishment had the same effect, but only after the stimulus was removed (Pearson, chapter 6, p 222). Operant conditioning is evident in the video “Behaviorism in the Classroom.” in chapter 6 of Eggen and Kauchak (2016) on page
