CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some positive punishment examples include: Take away something special from the child, such as his favorite toy or a piece of candy, for a set amount of time. This could be a day, week, or month depending on what the teacher believes is best for her students’ needs and circumstances.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Positive punishment is when you add a consequence to unwanted behavior. You do this to make it less appealing. An example of positive punishment is adding more chores to the list when your child neglects their responsibilities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of Negative Reinforcement If instead of nagging Rafael’s mother took away his iPad, then that would be an example of negative punishment. Stopping alarms or other noises: That steady beeping that occurs in a car until the seatbelt is buckled is another example of negative reinforcement.
