Reinforcement‚ whether positive or negative‚ is adding something or removing something already present in an effort to inspire or motivate an individual to have a continued or increase in frequency of a specific desired behavior (Prince‚ 2013). Punishment‚ whether positive or negative‚ is implementation

Differential Reinforcement is defined to occur when behavior is reinforced by being either rewarded or punished while interacting with others (Siegel‚ 2003). With this said‚ the theory was developed as a way of labeling both positive‚ as well as negative aspects of individual action. This idea of reinforcement is a branch of the infamous Differential Association theory presented by Edwin H. Sutherland in 1939. Another commonly used term for this theory of reinforcement is called differential conditioning

Reinforcement Theory Reinforcement is a term in operant conditioning and behavior analysis for a process of strengthening a directly measurable dimension of behavior—such as rate (pulling a lever more frequently)‚ duration ( pulling a lever for longer periods of time)‚ magnitude (pulling a lever with greater force)‚ or latency (pulling a lever more quickly following the onset of an environmental event)—as a function of the delivery of a "valued" stimulus (money from a slot machine) immediately or

stability of embankments on soft soils has been addressed by many researchers in the past with approximation for pseudo-static condition with and without reinforcement but based on consideration of axial pull in the reinforcement. The kinematics of deformation of typical failure of reinforced embankment dictates oblique pull in the reinforcement due to sliding mass. This oblique pull mobilizes additional normal stresses resulting in higher shear resistance and addition normal force than mobilized
