Negative reinforcement involves the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior. In this case, the unpleasant stimulus is the nagging from the mother, and the desired behavior is cleaning the room. By cleaning the room, the unpleasant stimulus is removed (the nagging stops), and the behavior is more likely to be repeated in the future to avoid the unpleasant stimulus.
