The Different Theories of Confusion

Decision theory can help bring together these kind of different psychological theories. I think that there's some way that they're all sort of the wrong abstraction and there is something that is more timeless, that is a more parsimonious way to model some of it. The clicker training people don't have a super mature framework for talking about this. But one thing with positive reinforcement tend to be better integrated in different scenarios than behaviors learned through punishment. They can generally shut down and doesn't want to do things because he might be punished as well. And if I teach behavior that way, they're less likely to teach a behavior that way.
