struggled violently against this impulse unsuccessfully for a year straight until i realized it was just my hormones were wrong lol
When you just cant even remember what not feeling that way is like, cant believe it happened, I wish there was a way to snap people out of that. I fucking wish.
Not to detract from your point, which is true, but "negative reinforcement" refers to the removal or avoidance of a negative stimulus. It's when something bad is already happening, and you avoid the bad thing.
What you and london are referring to is "positive punishment". "Positive" means "to add".
In other words, you've correctly understood how the psychological phenomenon works on its own.
Considering it in relation to the other forms of reinforcement is extremely useful for animals who also happen to humans, or humans who interact with other animals, such as humans, on a regular basis.
