negative feedback
metabolic inhibition
Positive feedback speeds up reactions and negative feedback slows them down. In electronics and control systems, positive feedback means the feedback gets added to the input and then goes as output. And negative feedback means that the output is input minus feedback (from output). This is the most basic and layman answer I can think of. In social and business terms, a positive feedback means a good response ( a praise for a product, or interest generation among the clients) and a negative feedback means a bad response (unhappy clients, criticism and the like ).
Both theorists studied how behaviors could be reinforced. While Skinner took Pavlov's work one step farther, they both used a stimulus and response method within their work. However, Skinner went farther to say that there is a limited number of repsonses that can be learned. In some instances you first must shape or introduce the initial stimulus for learning to take place.
You subtract the initial from the after, and the result is the change. If the initial temperature is 50º and the after is 70º, then the change is +20º.

positive feedback
Exaggerating the stimulus is also seen as amplifying the stimulus. This is seen in outer ear hair cells.The mechanism you refer to is probably a positive feedback mechanism: more of the stimulus causes more of the stimulus. This is in contrast to a negative feedback mechanism, whereby more stimulus results in processes that strive to attenuate (lessen) that stimulus.
exagerrates the stimulus
Yes
A negative feedback would be if the planet heats up, the glaciers will melt, lowering the albedo effect of the snow, and in turn causing the planet to heat up more That is positive feedback, not negative. Positive feedback enhances the initial stimulus, negative feedback reverses the initial stimulus. The planet starts by heating up, then heats up even more, which is positive feedback.

opposite in direction to the change produced by the initial stimulus
Positive feedback increases the original stimulus. An example is labor contractions. The initial contraction signals the body to release hormones that increase the frequency and intensity of subsequent contractions.
The initial experience of a stimulus involves the detection of the stimulus by sensory receptors in the body, such as in the eyes, ears, or skin. This triggers a neural response that sends signals to the brain for processing and interpretation, leading to the awareness and perception of the stimulus.

Yes, that's correct. Weber's law states that the just noticeable difference (JND) between two stimuli is proportional to the intensity of the initial stimulus. This means that the difference needed to perceive a change in stimulus intensity remains constant regardless of the initial intensity level.
