A logical consequence links the consequences of a behavior to the behavior itself. In this case, the consequence of Johnny's behavior (bouncing the ball inside) is that his mother will put the ball away. This consequence is logical because it is related to the behavior that led to it. Natural consequences involve the natural result of a behavior without any imposed consequence, while Type 1 punishment involves the addition of a negative consequence to decrease the likelihood of a behavior. Extinction procedure involves removing a previously reinforcing consequence to decrease the frequency of a behavior. None of these options fit the scenario described.
