Detailed explanation-1: -Operant conditioning can also be used to decrease a behavior via the removal of a desirable outcome or the application of a negative outcome. For example, a child may be told they will lose recess privileges if they talk out of turn in class. This potential for punishment may lead to a decrease in disruptive behaviors.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Operant Conditioning Theory, there are essentially four quadrants: Positive Reinforcement, Positive Punishment, Negative Reinforcement, and Negative Punishment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Confiscating the phone if a student is caught using it is positive punishment. This is a classic operant conditioning example in the classroom. Operant conditioning examples in the classroom also include a teacher scolding a student publicly for repeating mistakes.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example, whenever you come home wearing a baseball cap, you take your child to the park to play. So, whenever your child sees you come home with a baseball cap, he is excited because he has associated your baseball cap with a trip to the park. This learning by association is classical conditioning.
