The answer is: negative reinforcement.

Explanation for each option:

  • Extinction: This occurs when a behavior decreases because it is no longer reinforced. It is not related to the removal of something undesirable.
  • Avoidance learning: This involves learning to avoid a negative outcome by performing a certain behavior, but it is not specifically about the removal of an undesirable stimulus after the behavior.
  • Punishment: This involves presenting an undesirable consequence after a behavior, which decreases the likelihood of the behavior being repeated.
  • Positive reinforcement: This involves presenting a desirable stimulus after a behavior, which increases the likelihood of the behavior being repeated.
  • Negative reinforcement: This involves removing an undesirable stimulus after a behavior, which increases the likelihood of the behavior being repeated.

Summary: Negative reinforcement is the type of consequence where an undesirable stimulus is removed following a behavior, making the behavior more likely to be repeated in the future.
