Operant Conditioning and the Four Quadrants

The idea
In operant conditioning, behavior is shaped by its consequences; positive means adding and negative means removing, so reinforcement, which increases behavior, and punishment, which decreases it, each come in positive and negative forms.
In practice
Praise, a stopped seat-belt chime, a reprimand and a toy taken away.
Where people slip
Negative reinforcement is not punishment.
