- (E) Punishments are defined as stimuli that decrease the likelihood that an organism will perform
the behavior that preceded the punishments. Negative reinforcements reinforce a behavior,
increasing the likelihood the behavior will be repeated. They reinforce the behavior by taking
away an aversive stimulus (e.g., an aspirin takes away a headache, which makes the person more
likely to take an aspirin in the future).
