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 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-3: -Positive punishment attempts to influence behavior by adding something unpleasant, while negative reinforcement attempts to exploit behavior by removing something unpleasant. The idea behind positive punishment is to make a behavior less likely to occur in the future.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
