There are two major components of instrumental conditioning. They are punishment and reinforcement. Both these parts include a negative and positive to them. Reinforcement is to raise a behavior a punishment is to decrease it.
A positive reinforcement is any stimulus that after it is shown to a response it helps to strengthen it. A negative reinforcement is when a stimulus is removed it after it is taken away strengthens the response. An example of this is take painkillers to end pain.
Positive punishment is when an aversive stimulus is given. This would be used when giving someone a ticket for speeding. A negative punishment is when a rewarding stimulus is taken away. Such as taking away a library card for not paying fines.
