Skinner's Operant Conditioning: Rewards & Punishments 

Operant conditioning is based on the idea that we can increase or decrease a certain behaviour by adding a consequence. For example, if a dog poops on a carpet, we can either provide reinforcement so the dog does it again or punishment so the dog stops. Both reinforcement and punishment, can either be positive or negative, which means we have four possible ways to teach this dog a lesson. 

In positive reinforcement, we add something pleasant, like a cookie, to increase the likelihood of a behavior. If reinforcement is negative, we still want to increase the desired behavior, this time by removing something unpleasant, like the leash. In positive punishments , we add an unpleasant response to decrease behavior. When punishment is negative, we also want to decrease behavior, now by removing something pleasant, like the comfy carpet. If we stop any sort of manipulation, the conditioned behavior will eventually disappear again. This is called extinction.
