Question: 1 / 1180

What is positive punishment?

Removing a good stimulus for bad behavior

Adding a negative stimulus for bad behavior

Positive punishment is the addition of a negative stimulus for bad behavior. This means that when an undesired behavior occurs, something unpleasant is added in order to decrease the likelihood of that behavior happening again in the future.

Option A is incorrect because it describes negative punishment, which is the removal of a pleasant stimulus for bad behavior.

Option C is incorrect because it describes positive reinforcement, which is the addition of a pleasant stimulus for good behavior.

Option D is incorrect because it describes extinction, which is the absence of any consequence for a behavior, rather than a punishment.
