In classical Skinnerian paradigms, it is negative reinforcement.  It is 
used to
extinguish a behavior if the behavior should be extinguished quickly.  
It is
usually advised one not use this technique.   The pigeon will peck you 
and
the rat will bite you if used too often.  It makes the subject mean.  a
better technique is to use positive reinforcement to train the subject 
away
from the adverse behavior to the desired behavior.
