Type 1 Punishment
 Definition: The reduction of inappropriate behavior by administration of an aversive consequence. (Punishment)

Can be implemented by :
• VERBAL REPRIMANDS :
EXAMPLES
Simple correction ( restitution):

• Students undo or correct the results of their behavior immediately

for example:
• They are asked to clean up a water spill
• They are asked to clear up the mess made by sharpeners
Over correction
• Directed rehearsal
Forces students to repeat the
behavior in exaggeratedly
correct form
E.G : If children rushed towards
the cafeteria at break time the
teacher will make them sit back
in their chairs and vacate the
classroom slowly in an orderly
fashion
• Restitutional Overcorrection
Requires the student to restore
the environment to a state that
is better than before
E.G : A student litters in the
playground, the teacher makes
them clean up the whole
playground.
Restraint & Corporal Punishment

• In situations of violent behavior restraint can be used to avoid

harm ; however it is better for potential victims to leave the
setting
• There is no moral justification for physical punishment
