Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both negative punishment and extinction involve the removal of a reinforcing stimulus after a behavior, which leads to a decrease in the frequency of that behavior. Extinction occurs when a previously reinforced behavior is no longer reinforced, leading to a decrease in the occurrence of that behavior. Negative punishment involves the removal of a positive stimulus following a behavior, which also results in a decrease in the behavior.
