After you have completed the exercise, post a summary of what you learned (from all lesson readings and this activity) in the discussion board. Are you getting a good understanding of the difference between positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement? (both are reinforcement so there is an increase in a behavior / response in both).

List some key things you have learned so far that have made sense to you. What is still confusing or do you need more clarification about? Do you see these principles in your daily lives?
