Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Negative Reinforcement
B	Positive Reinforcement
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative punishment (penalty) (also called “punishment by contingent withdrawal") occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by the removal of a stimulus. Example: taking away a child’s toy following an undesired behavior by him/her, which would result in a decrease in the undesirable behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Negative reinforcement refers to the process of removing an unpleasant stimulus after thedesired behavior is displayed, in order to increase the likelihood of that behavior being repeated.

Detailed explanation-3: -In negative punishment, you remove a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior. For example, when a child misbehaves, a parent can take away a favorite toy. In this case, a stimulus (the toy) is removed in order to decrease the behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Negative reinforcement occurs when a certain stimulus (usually an aversive stimulus) is removed after a particular behavior is exhibited.
