Whats an example of negative reinforcement?
An example of negative reinforcement is getting nagged at by the spouse to take out the trash and when the person getting nagged at finally decides to get up to do this, the nagging stops. This eventually leads to an increase in the desire to take out the trash without the nagging (or to avoid the nagging).
Negative reinforcement is not a negative thing…it occurs when something unpleasurable is taken away as a reward to reinforce a certain behavior. The common misunderstanding is that is a bad thing, but it is not. expl…Teacher tells her students they will recieve less homework if they all clean up their messes. This is taking away a negative thing to enforce a positive behavior…
