Answer 1

Brecken's car beeping loudly until he turns off the headlights is an example of negative reinforcement.

In this case, the beeping is an aversive stimulus, and by turning off the headlights (the behavior), the beeping (the undesirable stimulus) is removed. This reinforces the behavior of turning off the headlights to avoid the beeping in the future.
