Punishment is defined as a consequence that follows an operant response that decreases (or attempts to decrease) the likelihood of that response occurring in the future. In an attempt to decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future, an operant response is followed by the presentation of an aversive stimulus. If you stroke a cat"s fur in a manner that the cat finds unpleasant, the cat may attempt to bite you. Therefore, the presentation of the cat"s bite will act as a positive punisher and decrease the likelihood that you will stroke the cat in that same manner in the future.
