 notes from a pedantic former Psych major
Great post, nice desk, but just a note on terminology: you are using the term "positive reinforcement" in a slightly different way than it means in a clinical sense.
"Positive reinforcement" can be a reward or a punishment, but it implies that you are adding a stimulus (a cookie, an electric shock) to reinforce behavior, while "negative reinforcement" means you take something away (you stop the shock, you remove the cookie).
Mmm, cookie....
