Positive reinforcement is reinforcing behavior by providing a pleasant/desired consequence. For example, giving you an ice cream cone.
Negative reinforcement is reinforcing behavior by taking away an unpleasant/undesired consequence. For example, a jail sentence is reduced for good behavior or taking medication to reduce pain or other unpleasant symptoms.
So, rather than applying/increasing the unpleasant consequence (punishment), it is <I>reducing</I> the negative consequence. See the sources cited by <B>Ms. Sue</B>.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
