Provide an example of the use of positive punishment to correct behavior. Under what conditions would such an approach be used?

The book describes the story of Johanna who banged her head 100 times a day against her crib, causing bruises. Because reinforcement of incompatible and zero behaviors had not worked in this case, the parent consented to using positive punishment. A small, painful but not harmful electric shock was administered to Johanna when she engaged in the behavior. Over time, this decreased the behavior to zero.
