  1. negative reinforcer

    A negative reinforcer is a stimulus or event that, when removed after a behavior, increases the likelihood that the behavior will occur again in the future. It is based on the principle of negative reinforcement in behavioral psychology, where the removal of an unpleasant factor encourages or strengthens a specific response. It's important to note that negative reinforcement is not a form of punishment, but rather a way to modify behavior.
