Explanation
The question involves understanding the different types of learning processes in psychology, particularly classical conditioning and variations of reinforcement and punishment. Giving a treat is a positive act because it's giving something pleasant. Doing so 'as a reward for sitting down on command' means the dog’s behavior is becoming more likely to occur. This is the definition of reinforcement. Hence, in particularly psychological explanation, this is known as positive reinforcement.
