      Adding a shame or punishment is “positive” in the sense of the words positive and negative reinforcement.

      Positive is adding to as a response:

      • yelling at
      • giving a thing
      • shocking them when exhibiting a behavior

      Negative is removing from as a response

      • taking a thing
      • removing a negative stimulus
      • no longer shocking them for exhibiting the behavior
