Document Summary
The term punishment gives u feeling of anxiety. Punishment is derived from both basic and applied research with rats as with skinner and also other human intervention. Pple will associate punishment with death penalty, cooperate punishment, retribution, and the wrong doers who get consequence for their behavior. Bm looks for whether a behavior is maladaptive and usually is followed by consequence. The behavior dec the future happening of that behavior. Positive punishment- ex spanking will make a behavior less likely occur in future. In order to see the functional relationship, we have to see what if the child is being reinforced by the attention that he gets from the parents while getting spanked? so we don"t know yet for sure. Negative punishment occurs when there is a maladaptive behavior and the reinforcer is removed. It is removed from the nature, believing that tv was reinforcing. Unconditioning reinforces- food, water, things that u need to survive.
