Negative Punishment

Detailed explanation-1: -There are four types of reinforcement: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, extinction, and punishment. Positive reinforcement is the application of a positive reinforcer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Have your kids ever cleaned their room, just to avoid your nagging? This is a perfect example of negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement occurs when something unpleasant or uncomfortable is removed or taken away in order to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -Positive punishment is used in many ways in the classroom. For example, teachers may assign extra school works to students who misbehave. A teacher may also add a “black star” on the behavior chart if a student uses his cell phone in class.
Detailed explanation-4: -One of the most effective examples of negative reinforcement in schools could be removing homework in response to a great work ethic. If a child works very hard one day in school and goes above and beyond, an appropriate response to that would be to give that child a night off from homework.
