Positive and Negative Reinforcement (Blog #7)

Classical conditioning deals with association that are made between a natural stimulus and a learned, neutral stimulus. On the other side is Operant conditioning. Operant conditioning results from one's actions and the consequences they cause. Many times this conditioning is a result of reinforcements, both positive and negative.

Your Assignment:

1.) Define both negative and positive reinforcements.
2.) Come up with real life examples, (preferably school or extra-curricular activities, but could be outside of school) that show negative and positive reinforcements.
