Punishment
Engaging with each other is essential in an online course. For this conversation, read the scenario and share your experiences with your colleagues by responding to ONE of the following statements.
Positive and negative punishment are often confused, so be sure to think carefully about the differences between them. When Roy finished his puzzle, his mother praised him and said to him loudly, “Good job, Roy!” Roy stopped playing with puzzles from that point on.
Describe the antecedent, the behavior that changed, the consequence, and whether this is an example of positive or negative punishment.
Describe your own example scenario of positive or negative punishment. Clearly identify the antecedent, behavior, consequence, and if your example is positive or negative punishment.

RESPONSE 1–
A: roy completed a puzzle
B: his mom gave loud verbal praiseC: roy didn’t do any more puzzlesI believe this is positive punishment. The loud verbal praise was added and the desired behavior from Roy decreased because the verbal praise was aversive to Roy. His mom had good intentions but it wasn’t reinforcing to him.
