Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an unpleasant event or outcome after the display of a behavior. This can increase the likelihood of the behavior being repeated in the future as the person learns that the behavior removes the unpleasant event. Positive reinforcement involves the addition of a desirable event or outcome after the display of a behavior, while neutral reinforcement refers to the absence of any consequence or outcome after a behavior. A reward is a desirable outcome provided after a behavior, and can fall under the category of positive reinforcement.
