Reinforcement is something that makes the behavior increase.
-
Negative reinforcement is very different from punishment.
-
Negative reinforcement is just a type of reward.
-
The difference is in positive reinforcement you do something;
-
in negative reinforcement you take away something aversive.
-
So, imagine the pig has a heavy collar
-
and to reward the pig for walking forward
-
you might remove the heavy collar.
-
So, these are the basic techniques to train an animal.
-
But it's kind of silly
-
because suppose you want your pig to dance.
-
You don't just want your pig to walk forward.
