In school, most students react to punishments given by the school that impacts our learning. For most students, when a punishment is given, negative or positive, a student will hopefully not perform this action again. Positive punishment occurs when someone administers and aversive stimulus. This occurs when students don't pay attention in class and receive a poor grade or when a student receives a detention. Negative punishment occurs when someone withdraws a desirable stimulus. For example, when students are using their phone during school, a teacher may take a away the desirable stimulus. Also other privileges such as the library and computers may be revoked. Punishment can create fear and make students in school afraid of doing a certain action that would result as punishment. Therefore students are conditioned to behave with desirable actions of the school so they don't receive punishment.
