Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avoidance conditioning involves learning to avoid an aversive or unpleasant stimulus by responding in a specific way in order to escape or avoid it. Negative reinforcement is the process by which avoidance conditioning occurs, as the removal of the aversive stimulus (i.e. negative reinforcement) strengthens the behavior that led to its removal. Positive reinforcement and punishment, as well as negative punishment, do not necessarily develop avoidance conditioning.
