Plot a V-I curve for an ordinary resistor and you'll get a straight line with positive slope: as current goes up, so does voltage drop across the component.

The V-I curve for some semiconductors features a region of negative slope. When the device is operating in this region, it exhibits negative resistance, which can be extremely useful when designing stable feedback systems.

Why does the resistance of a thermistor decrease as the temperature rises?

Some materials have negative temperature coefficients of resistance, and some have positive temperature coefficients. Carbon is an example of a substance with a negative thermal coefficient of resistance, so it's resistance will decrease as it gets hotter.
