Final answer:

Positive punishment adds unwanted stimuli to reduce behavior while negative punishment removes pleasurable stimuli to achieve the same goal. Time-out is a prevalent method of negative punishment often used with children.


Explanation:

Positive punishment involves adding an undesirable stimulus to decrease a behavior. An example is reprimanding a student to stop texting in class. In contrast, negative punishment removes a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior, like taking away a toy. Time-out serves as a common form of negative punishment, temporarily removing a child from enjoyable activities.
