Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Punishment is defined as presenting an uncomfortable or unwanted consequence for a particular behavioral response. Other options such as extinction (lack of reinforcement) and negative reinforcement (removal of an aversive stimuli) do not involve presenting an uncomfortable consequence. Confrontation is not a learning principle, but rather a social interaction where two individuals face each other to discuss a problem or issue.
