Answer: B.F Skinner

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative reinforcement theory is when a particular response or behavior by an individual is strengthened by stopping, or in order to avoid a negative outcome. An example of negative reinforcement theory is John washes his clothes in order to stop his from from nagging.

This learning theory was founded by B.F Skinner.
