Answer:

Positive Punishment and Negative Punishment

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Positive Punishment: Adding an unfavorable consequence after a behavior occurs to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring in the future (e.g. additional chores).
  • Negative Punishment: Removal of a favorable after a behavior occurs to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring in the future (e.g. removing access to TV/video games).
