Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Punishment is the application of a consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again in the future. In this scenario, receiving a ticket for speeding is a punishment, which leads to the individual stopping the behavior of speeding. Positive reinforcement would be rewarding the individual for not speeding, negative reinforcement would be removing an aversive stimulus when the individual does not speed, and spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a previously extinguished behavior.
