All rights reserved Reinforcement Perspective on Motivation Reinforcement Tools Positive reinforcement in the administration of a pleasant and rewarding consequence.

Extinction is the withdrawal of a positive reward; behavior is no longer reinforced and hence is less likely to occur in the future.
