Detailed explanation-1: -Negative reinforcement is typically associated with an undesirable stimulus being present before the behavior occurs (antecedent) and the behavior increases due to the removal of the undesirable stimulus as a consequence to the behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -Negative reinforcement occurs when something unpleasant or uncomfortable is removed or taken away in order to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior. Kids want to avoid the nagging, so they do what needs to be done. Thus, taking away something unpleasant, in this case, nagging, results in the desired behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -Negative reinforcement occurs when the rate of a behavior is observed toincrease following the removal of a stimuli. In other words, the terminationor removal of an aversive stimulus is likely to increase the target behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -A classic example of negative reinforcement is the beeping noise your car makes when you haven’t buckled your seat belt. The car makes this beeping noise in order to increase the likelihood of you buckling your seatbelt (so, buckling your seatbelt is the desired behavior).
