Negative reinforcement encourages behaviors to continue with the incentive of taking away something bad. Punishment encourages bad behaviors to stop through fear of consequence. Psychologists recommend using negative reinforcement over punishment because it encourages desirable behaviors instead of removing undesirable behaviors without putting a desirable alternative in its place, and because it is based on a positive hope for reward, rather than fear of consequence.
