Detailed explanation-1: -A person is caught stealing and is taken to jail. Those who saw the person steal and receive punishment learn vicariously that stealing brings a negative consequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following is a disadvantage of punishment? It does not teach correct behavior. Only positive reinforcement will teach correct behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
