Positive reinforcement - reward for desired behaviour. Negative reinforcement - not taking something away if indiv behaves in desired manner. Positive punishment - administering noxious stimuli if indiv behaves in undesirable manner. Negative punishment - removing reward for good behaviour b/c indiv behaving badly. Discriminating stimuli - cues/signals telling indiv whether behaviour likely to be reinforced/punished. Bandura - one of most well known theorists on imitation/modeling of behaviour. Said we learn behaviour by observing others & seeing whether behaviour reinforced/punished. Also learn from watching movies & tv. Children vented anger into doll same way adults did. Length of time before consequences will be realized.
