Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Negative reinforcement occurs when a certain stimulus (usually an aversive stimulus) is removed after a particular behavior is exhibited. The likelihood of the particular behavior occurring again in the future is increased because of removing/avoiding the negative consequence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Negative reinforcement strengthens a response or behavior by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome or aversive stimulus. 1 B. F. Skinner first described the term in his theory of operant conditioning.
Detailed explanation-4: -Negative reinforcement is taking something away that the child doesn’t like in response to good behaviour. One of many examples of negative reinforcement could be a parent removing a chore due to the child having a great day at school.
Detailed explanation-5: -A negative reinforcer is a stimulus that when removed after a response, will increase the frequency or likelihood of that response.
