Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A time-out is a form of punishment, as it involves removing the student from the classroom setting after engaging in disruptive behavior. It is intended to decrease the likelihood of the behavior occurring in the future. A conditioned reinforcer is a stimulus that becomes reinforcing through its association with other reinforcers, a negative reinforcer is a stimulus that, when removed, increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again, and a primary reinforcer is a stimulus that is inherently rewarding (e.g. food, water). None of these accurately describe a time-out.
