How do punishments impact your learning here in school? Consider what you know about punishment systems from the learning chapter to guide your response.

Punishments create negative associations to certain behaviors and students begin to either unconsciously or consciously suppress those behaviors. Punishment can also eliminate a behavior altogether, forcing students to maybe act in ways which they do not like. The punishment could also motivate a student to achieve better results or show more of the desired action to prevent further punishment, therefore creating a sort of fear that it could happen again. Then the learning is done forcefully rather than naturally.
