Positive Punishment

A technique in behavior modification that involves the introduction of an unfavorable outcome or event following an undesirable behavior, with the intention of decreasing the likelihood of the behavior occurring again.

Negative Punishment

A type of behavior modification that involves the removal of a desirable stimulus after a behavior to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.

Negative Reinforcement

A behavioral principle where the removal of an unfavorable event or outcome after the display of a behavior increases the likelihood of that behavior in the future.
