Explanation:

In behavior - modification, negative reinforcement involves the removal of a stimulus to increase a preceding behavior. A conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, elicits a conditioned response. Positive reinforcement involves the addition of a stimulus to increase a behavior. An unconditioned stimulus naturally and automatically elicits a response without prior learning.
