Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative reinforcement involves the removal or withholding of an aversive stimulus in order to increase a behavior, while punishment involves the presentation of an aversive stimulus in order to decrease a behavior. Similarly, withdrawing a desirable stimulus can be seen as a form of punishment, while presenting a desirable stimulus can be seen as a form of reinforcement. Therefore, the correct analogy is with "withdrawing" being equivalent to "punishment."
