    Adding a shame or punishment is “positive” in the sense of the words positive and negative reinforcement.

    Positive is adding to as a response:

    • yelling at
    • giving a thing
    • shocking them when exhibiting a behavior

    Negative is removing from as a response

    • taking a thing
    • removing a negative stimulus
    • no longer shocking them for exhibiting the behavior
