I also don’t recall claiming that positive reinforcement works better than negative reinforcement.
Also, it looks to me like what MBlume means to say is that positive reinforcement works better than punishment (a different concept than negative reinforcement), which is also something I don’t recall claiming.
In any case, thanks again Yvain for your analysis of some of the relevant studies.

For the record, I, too, thought that was a claim of your post. Maybe it’s worth adding a note to it to clarify since this mistakes seems wide spread.
