Definitions:

Secondary Reinforcement

A form of reinforcement that involves the use of a stimulus that has acquired its reinforcing properties through its association with a primary reinforcer.

Punishment

In behaviorism, an intervention that decreases the likelihood of the behavior that it follows by introducing an unpleasant stimulus or outcome.

Positive Reinforcement

is a behavioral strategy that involves rewarding a desirable behavior to increase the likelihood of its recurrence.

Negative Reinforcement

A behavioral training technique where the removal of an undesirable or unpleasant stimulus following a particular behavior increases the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future.
