Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive reinforcement increases the frequency of a behavior by adding a desirable stimulus after the behavior, while extinction decreases the frequency of a behavior by removing the reinforcement that was maintaining the behavior. Negative reinforcement, not extinction, is another method that increases behavior by removing an aversive stimulus after the behavior occurs.
