Most behaviourists define Punishment based on the impact it creates on behaviour: it reduces the frequency with which the response is followed. There are two types of Punishment. Punishment entails the administration of an aversive stimulus, such as a reprimand or a failing grade. Punishment II entails the removal of a pleasant stimulus; examples include monetary fines for misbehaviour and loss of privileges.
