Detailed explanation-1: -In negative punishment, you remove a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior. For example, when a child misbehaves, a parent can take away a favorite toy. In this case, a stimulus (the toy) is removed in order to decrease the behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like reinforcement, a stimulus can be added (positive punishment) or removed (negative punishment). There are two types of punishment: positive and negative, and it can be difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Detailed explanation-3: -Negative reinforcement involves the removal of something negative to strengthen a behavior. On the other hand, punishment involves either imposing something undesirable or taking away a positive stimulus to weaken or eliminate a behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -Negative punishment: This type of punishment is also known as “punishment by removal.” Negative punishment involves taking away a desirable stimulus after a behavior has occurred.
