The student gets a disciplinary referral for inappropriate behavior, and he gets scolded by his teacher. He also gets lunch detention and afterschool detention for the next week, and he receives in-school suspension for the next two days.

Explanation:

The student in this example is getting positively punished with the addition of the aversive stimuli of a disciplinary referral and a scolding by the teacher. He is also being negatively punished with the removal of the positive stimuli of lunch privileges, afterschool privileges, and in-school privileges.

We chose the punishments that we chose because they were the best punishments in preventing the child from performing the unwanted behavior, which was being disrespectful to the teacher, again.

Punishment should only be used in specific situations.

Punishment's message should always be clear; the behavior that is targeted should be evident to the organism.

Punishment should not be overused, such that the organism is not desensitized to the punishment.

Punishment is more effective in the negative form than positive (removal of privileges rather than application of pain, for example).
