Detailed explanation-1: -Few examples of negative reinforcement in the classroom: Doing away with homework for the weekend if students behave well in class. Freedom to escape extra classes if students perform well in exams. Removing the code of silence in the classroom once everyone completes their tasks.
Detailed explanation-2: -A naturally occurring example for humans would be that after a child has been burned by a red stove, he or she learns not to touch the stove when it is red. The child avoids that behavior in the future.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Describe the ways in which a human’s response to immediate and delayed reinforcers is different from that of a rat. Rats: Delayed gratification occurs after 30 seconds of not rewarding the proper stimulus, but rather one that comes later. Humans: want immediate gratification, but we must learn to delay it over time.
