Abstract

TODOROV, João Cláudio. Who is afraid of punishment?. Rev. bras. ter. comport. cogn. [online]. 2001, vol.3, n.1, pp. 37-40. ISSN 1517-5545.

In literature we find several definitions for punishment which do not comprise die subject thoroughly, even when it is compared to discriminative stimuli, extintion, saciation and physical restriction. The experimental work on punishment was discarded even though it has been used consistently for an immediate supression of behavior or reinforcement for the person who has it ministrated. The relevant question must be about why not study it.

Keywords : Punishment; definition; procedures of punishment.
