Negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus in response to a desired behavior, increasing the likelihood of the behavior being repeated in the future. In this scenario, Cheyenne's mother removes the task of setting the table as a result of her good behavior at daycare, which increases the likelihood of Cheyenne continuing to be a good girl at daycare in the future.
