Detailed explanation-1: -Negative reinforcement involves the removal of a particular stimuli in order to increase a desired behavior. An alarm clock is a good example. The alarm stops ringing when you get up and turn it off.
Detailed explanation-2: -Negative Reinforcement Examples One example of negative reinforcement is when we turn off the alarm clock in the morning. We hear the annoying sound and therefore press the off button (or if you’re like me, the snooze button). The alarm will then stop making noise and you hopefully get out of bed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Negative Reinforcement Getting up from the bed to avoid the noisy alarm. Taking an antacid before having a spicy meal. Applying sunscreen before heading to the beach to avoid getting sunburned.
Detailed explanation-4: -At dinner time, a child pouts and refuses to eat her vegetables for dinner. Her parents quickly take the offending veggies away. Since the behavior (pouting) led to the removal of the aversive stimulus (the veggies), this is an example of negative reinforcement.
Detailed explanation-5: -Nagging Your Employees Constantly being reminded to be more productive, often seen as nagging or badgering by employees, is a negative reinforcement technique. It may be used intentionally or unintentionally, but it creates a negative condition in which the employees are subjected to an unpleasant situation.
