    negative reinforcement is what punishment for undesired behavior is called.

    positive reinforcement is rewarding when the desired behavior is exhibited.

    edit: negative reinforcement requires forever conditioning and develops sick and twisted conditioners eventually. positive reinforcement takes longer to work but it doesn’t require forever conditioning. And rarely causes revolutionary acts.
