Definitions:

Continuous Reinforcement

A schedule of reinforcement in which every correct response is reinforced, leading to rapid learning but also rapid extinction of the behavior once reinforcement ceases.

Secondary Reinforcement

A process wherein a stimulus reinforces a behavior because it is associated with a primary reinforcer (e.g., praise that becomes rewarding because it is linked to receiving a physical reward).

Negative Reinforcement

A behavior modification technique that involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of a desired response.

Positive Reinforcement

Any pleasant or desirable consequence that follows a response and increases the probability that the response will be repeated.
