Exclusionary time-out involves removing the individual from the situation in which reinforcement is occurring, such as placing the individual in a time-out room. Non-exclusionary time-out involves removing the opportunity for reinforcement while keeping the individual in the same environment, such as ignoring the individual for a brief period of time. Response cost involves removing a previously earned reinforcer as a consequence for problem behavior. Negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring.
