Reinforces are responses that increase the chance of a behavior being repeated‚ these can be either positive or negative. Punishers are responses that decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.

He planned to do so by isolating his rats and numerous other subjects in a box away from the outside world. He would gradually increase‚ decrease‚ or manipulate their reward so that over time‚ they would understand and carry out the behaviors they had been taught‚ without retaliation.
