AP Psychology
Unit 4 – Learning
Topic 4.3
How has our understanding evolved regarding the use of punishment as a behavioral modification tool under operant conditioning principles?
The effectiveness is heavily questioned due to potential psychological harm and lack of teaching alternative behaviors.
It is now universally accepted that all forms of punishment are harmful and thus, should be avoided entirely.
The use of punishment has remained consistent since Skinner's time, without any critical evaluation.
Punishment is now considered the most effective method to alter behavior.
