CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus after an unwanted behavior to discourage a person from repeating the behavior. Spanking and chores are examples of this. On the other hand, negative punishment involves the removal of something desirable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive punishment teaches an individual that a particular behavior is not acceptable because something unpleasant has been added due to that behavior. Positive punishment is used to help decrease an undesired behavior. The goal is to create new behaviors to better adapt and succeed in their environments.

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of positive punishment is scolding a student to get the student to stop texting in class. In this case, a stimulus (the reprimand) is added in order to decrease the behavior (texting in class). In negative punishment, you remove a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive reinforcement adds a desirable stimulus to the situation, while negative reinforcement removes an undesirable stimulus, both in the service of reinforcing the behavior that was displayed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Positive punishment is a type of operant conditioning, a theory proposed by psychologist B.F Skinner. Its main purpose is to reduce the future frequency of the behavior by applying an aversive stimulus after the behavior occurs. Positive punishment in psychology is what we refer to as “punishment” in everyday life.
