[SOLVED] Misconceptions of Negative Reinforcement

“Negative reinforcement is commonly misunderstood because of the
term negative. Most people get it mixed up with punishment or think it refers to
an unwanted behavior being reinforced. In the science of behavior analysis, the
term negative refers to the fact that a stimulus is being removed after a behavior.

Remember, reinforcement is used to increase behavior, so with negative
reinforcement, a stimulus is removed following a behavior to increase the
frequency of the behavior in the future. For example, when you connect your seat
belt to stop the annoying buzzing sound in your car, this is negative
reinforcement (the behavior of wearing a seat belt increases to remove an
aversive stimulus).

 Explain the difference between the common misconception of the
term negative reinforcement and how the science of behavior analysis
defines it. Why do you think this misconception exists?
 Provide three examples of negative reinforcement in ABC (three term
contingency) format. Explain why they are negative reinforcement.
 Provide three examples of positive reinforcement in ABC (three term
contingency) format. Explain why they are positive reinforcement.”
