Coughing Up White Mucus. When infection has invaded our bodies, we secrete mucus as one way to eliminate the invading pathogens. Phlegm, mucus and sputum are produced by the body every day in order to keep the nasal passages moist and resistant to infection. When illness or irritants invade, more mucus is produced in order to clear the passages.
Punishment is the authoritative imposition of an undesirable or unpleasant outcome upon a group or individual, in response to a particular action or behaviour that is deemed unacceptable or threatening to some norm.
Negative punishment is the REMOVAL of a stimulus that decreases... Reinforcement strengthens/increases behavior; punishment decreases/weakens-Positive means PRESENTATION, and Negative means REMOVAL. Combine them any how you want and form your definition.unishment, on the other hand, weakens a behavior because a negative condition is introduced or experienced as a consequence of the behavior. Example: a rat is in a cage and when it presses the lever, it is shocked. When it lets go, the shock stops.
