POS.REINFORCEMENT: behaviourgain [+]----------------repeated behaviour

PUNISHMENT: behaviour----------pain--------------------decreased behaviour

An aversive stimulus occurs whenever a behaviour occurs.

Where the subject learns to avoid the aversive stimulus eg by pressing lever.

Escape conditioning

The response learned provides complete escape from the aversion.[very resistent to extinction]
