Answer:

Negative punishment

Explanation:

Punishment

This is simply an act or an event that tends to reduce/decrease the behavior that it follows it.

Positive punishment

This is when a behavior is accompanied quickly by the presence of a stimulus that reduces the future occurrence of the said behavior.

Negative punishment

This is commonly known as a response behavior that is accompanied quickly by the removal of a stimulus or a decline in the intensity of the stimulus, that therefore reduces the future occurrence of similar responses under similar conditions.

Punishment often tends to weakens or reduces the probability of a behavior occurring again.
