   The 'reward' can also be 'fear' motivated and not just a positive   
   consequence.   
   For _some_ 'a positive' response is *escaping* a 'negative' event like   
   getting punched, belittled or whatever negative prompt is being given   
   for giving the 'wrong or incorrect' response by the authority figure or   
   trainer.   
   If you know how to train an animal you can train a person.   
   Your bosses give rewards and punishments later on in adult life, and it   
   is all the same techniques which shapes human behaviors for positive or   
   negative responses.
