Negative reinforcers increase the probability of a behavior by removing or avoiding an unpleasant stimulus. Harmful stimuli may or may not function as negative reinforcers depending on their effect on behavior. For example, a painful electric shock may decrease the likelihood of a behavior rather than increase it.
