Hmm hey guys.. just a question on punishment...

If you don't do your homework you OBTAIN a detention>>>>> POSITIVE PUNISHMENT

but then... can you argue that your free-time  is TAKEN AWAY >>>> NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT

What are your thoughts?

Cheers!

Yepp that'd be right since positive punishment involves imposing an unpleasant stimulus in response to behaviour and negative punishment involves taking away a valuable stimulus in response to a behaviour.. so yeaah what you said should be correct :)

With punishment and reinforcement sometimes scenarios can be both positive and negative, depending on how you look at it. But if a scenario asks you what type is being shown, I'd interpret it as how the scenario is worded. So it would be positive punishment (giving a detention)
