genewho

Punishment is about the modification of a behavior whose purpose is to reduce or extinguish the repetition of a behavior.

Punishment is a type of operant conditioning that occurs when a subject decreases the probability of issuing a behavior.

  • Operant conditioning analyzes how and what are the consequences that can produce or eliminate a certain behavior or response.

  • The consequence can have two possible outcomes: it can either cause the action to be repeated, or it can cause the action to decrease.

Therefore, we can conclude that a punishment is any unpleasant consequence that reduces the frequency of a behavior.
