Answer:

The definition of punishment in ordinary usage contrast with the definition of punishment in behavior modification all depends on what would be defined as the consequence for a specific child.

Step-by-step explanation:

Behaviour modification definition :

When we define punishment according to whether the behavior decreases in the future as a result of the consequences, we are adopting a functional definition. Because you are seeing what kind of consequence causes the decrease of behavior.

Ordinary usage definition :

If a behavior decreases in the future. It all depends on what would be defined as the consequence for a specific child.
