+ Applied behavior analysis, Definitions and concepts, Differential Reinforcement
  * Differential reinforcement is a way that people can learn to make correct responses over time. The correct behavior is reinforced and the incorrect behavior is not reinforced. Over time people will learn to make the correct response because they want to get the reinforcement. A SD signals that reinforcement is available. A S-delta does not tell the person anything about the availability of reinforcement. A S-delta is not likely to produce responses because there is reinforcement is not given.

Extrinsic reinforcement
* can destroy inner motivation.
* promotes extrinsic motivation rather than intrinsic motivation.

Intermittent reinforcement
* has a very powerful effect on behavior.
* is used to maintain behavior.

### activity | operation | reinforcement:

Negative reinforcement
* form of reinforcement.
* involves making a bird do something.
* is an important key to understanding human behavior
  - exhibited through escape or avoidance
* is the contingent escape from an aversive consequence
  - removal of an aversive condition
  - used many times in dealing with caged birds
* is when a negative scenario discourages an unwanted behavior
  - situation or event is removed
* part of animal lives in nature and in captive situations.
* refers to doing something to avoid an unpleasant condition.
* valid way to influences behavior.

### activity | operation | reinforcement:

Positive reinforcement
* does make a difference-even with babies.
* helps a person feel good.
* involves the contingent delivery of a desired consequence.
* is an important example of selection by consequences
  - feedback, which stimulates the re-occurrence of a given behavior
  - one of the best ways to motivate employees to work their best
  - only one quadrant of operant conditioning
  - related to self-concept
  - similar to rewards
* is the key to behavior guidance as well as prevention
  - only technique that works for motivating another to be more romantic
  - way to get more of the good behavior and less of the negative one
* is used to deal with negative behaviour
  - help keep the user's interest
  - modify impolite behavior
  - obtain desirable and appropriate behavior
* leads to repetition of desired behaviors.
* much stronger shaper of behavior than negative.
* powerful inducement for continued or increased working and learning.
* refers to conditioning behaviour by providing a desirable consequence
  - some type of reward for a good behavior
* takes place when a reward or pleasant event follows an action.
* works better in humans than in laboratory animals
  - with teachers as well as with our children

Reinforcement learning
* is about learning from interaction how to behave in order to achieve a goal
  - currently the most popular approach to learning on mobile robots
* is one form of learning from feedback from the consequences of responses
  - method developed to deal with such situations
* simulation-based method rooted in dynamic programming.
