Answer: decreases; increases
Punishment _____ the rate of operant responding; negative reinforcement _____ the rate of operant responding.
This usage is at odds with some non-technical usages of the four term combinations especially in the case of the term " negative reinforcement " which is often used to denote what technical parlance would describe as "positive punishment " in that the non-technical usage interprets " reinforcement " as subsuming both reward and punishment and " negative " as referring to the responding operant …
In operant conditioning punishment is any change in a human or animal's surroundings which occurring after a given behavior or response reduces the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future. As with reinforcement it is the behavior not the human/animal that is punished.Whether a change is or is not punishing is determined by its effect on the rate that the behavior occurs ...

Operant conditioning (also called instrumental conditioning) is a type of associative learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment .It is also a procedure that is used to bring about such learning. Although operant and classical conditioning both involve behaviors controlled by environmental stimuli they differ in nature.
According to behavioral momentum theory there are two separable factors that independently govern the rate with which a discriminated operant occurs and the persistence of that response in the face of disruptions such as punishment extinction or the differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors. (see Nevin & Grace 2000 for a review). First the positive contingency between the response and a reinforcing consequence controls response rates …
Negative reinforcement occurs when a dog discovers that a particular response ends the presentation of an aversive stimulus. An aversive is anything that the dog does not like such as ve...
