Negative Punishment

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

Show

A teenager loses car privileges after breaking curfew and returns on time thereafter.

Watch for

Removal must follow the behavior closely and reliably. Delayed removal teaches less than it appears to.
