Answer:

Negative punishment

Explanation:

Punishment in terms of behavioral control usually weakens or reduces the probability of a certain behavior from reoccurring. It is simply said to be an action taken or an event that decreases the oçcurence of a behavior or behavior that it follows.

Negative Punishment deals with an individual, a parent e.t.c. taking away something desirable e.g no viewing of the television for a week. It is simply a response behavior. It is backed up by the removal of a stimulus or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus.

It makes or decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar circumstances.
