Detailed explanation-1: -Punishment is a process by which a consequence immediately follows a behavior which decreases the future frequency of that behavior. Like reinforcement, a stimulus can be added (positive punishment) or removed (negative punishment).
Detailed explanation-2: -In positive punishment, you add an undesirable stimulus to decrease a behavior. 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).
Detailed explanation-3: -punishment, the infliction of some kind of pain or loss upon a person for a misdeed (i.e., the transgression of a law or command). Punishment may take forms ranging from capital punishment, flogging, forced labour, and mutilation of the body to imprisonment and fines.
Detailed explanation-4: -A punishment in psychology is a consequence which reduces or aims to reduce the likelihood of a targeted and undesirable behavior from happening again. Punishment is a part of operant conditioning, or the use of rewards to encourage certain behaviors and use of negative consequences to discourage unwanted behaviors.
Detailed explanation-5: -The purpose of non-contingent reinforcement (NCR) is to reduce the frequency of a challenging or problematic behavior.
