How can negative reinforcement be positive?

Negative reinforcement refers to the removal of a negative stimulus to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior. In this context, "negative" does not refer to something bad but rather the removal of something unwanted. So, negative reinforcement can be positive because it encourages the individual to engage in a behavior that leads to the removal of an aversive stimulus, ultimately resulting in a positive outcome.

What are the Differences between positive and negative reinforcement and how they link to motivation?

Positive reinforcement is basically rewarding good behavior. Like giving candy for doing chores. Negative reinforcement is the opposite, giving something bad, scolding usually, upon doing something bad. Negative reinforcement acts as a deterrent to bad behavior. These are linked to motivation in the way that you can motivate a child to do something with the idea of a reward afterwards, or the fear of something bad if they don't do it, or do something wrong.

What are the Differences between postive and negative reinforcement?

Both positive and negative reinforcements encourage a person to act the same way in the future. However, a positive reinforcement is a reward for good behavior (a good grade, a sticker, a cookie). A negative reinforcement, on the other hand, is the removal of something negative as a reward for good behavior (the removal of a painful stimulus once a rat completes a maze, avoiding heavy traffic because you leave earlier in the morning). While these are different ways of reinforcing positive behavior, they both strengthen the given behavior and encourage the behavior in the future.
