Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus in order to increase the likelihood of the behavior being repeated in the future. Turning off an electric shock, removing a noxious odor, and silencing a banging door are all examples of negative reinforcement as they involve the removal of an aversive stimulus. Spanking, on the other hand, involves the addition of an aversive stimulus and is not a negative reinforcer.
