Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative reinforcement strengthens behavior by removing or avoiding an unpleasant stimulus after the desired behavior occurs, making it more likely to occur again in the future. In contrast, punishment weakens behavior by presenting an unpleasant stimulus after the undesired behavior occurs. Extinction is the gradual disappearance of a behavior when it is no longer reinforced. Job rotation refers to moving employees through different positions or departments within an organization. Vicarious modeling involves learning from observing the behavior and consequences of others.
