When properly executed, the behavior management strategy known as time-out becomes
A.a positive reinforcer
B.more effective than logical consequences
C.a conversation betwen child and adult
D. suitable punishment for misbehavior
I chose the letter A. Can you check my answer.
A. is not the answer. Positive reinforcement reinforces good behavior.
Please check your book to find the answer that your teacher expects. I see two posible right answers.
Thanks I see two possible answers to. Thank you I am all ready relooking in the book.
The whole purpose of "time out" was originally intended, as I understand it (although I didn't use this with my own children), to break the "flow" of the unacceptable behavior, to put the child into a quiet place so he/she could "shift gears" and become ready to rejoin the class or playmates or whatever.
What did you learn from your book?
This is what I learned from the text book: Sometimes putting children in time-out does not all ways work, so the teacher has to results to other sources which is by talking to the parents.
Hmmm! That doesn't seem to fit the answers.
I believe that D is the best answer.
I agree with Ms. Sue. It's definitely not A or C, and B seems questionable, too, since it does not always work.

The purpose of time-out is two fold: to remove the child from creating a disturbance, and secondly, to allow withdrawal of attention to the child. It should be short, and no attention paid to the child. One has to be careful with this, some anti-social kids like time out, and autistic kids could care less.
I ALSO THINK IS D
To check your answer, let's go through each option:
A. A positive reinforcer: This option suggests that time-out, when properly executed, will serve as a positive reinforcer. However, this is incorrect since time-out is actually a form of negative punishment, as it involves removing the child from a preferred activity or environment. So, option A is not correct.
B. More effective than logical consequences: This option compares time-out to logical consequences, implying that time-out is more effective. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of behavior management strategies can vary depending on the individual child and the specific situation. So, we cannot definitively say that time-out is always more effective than logical consequences. Hence, option B is not correct.
C. A conversation between child and adult: This option implies that time-out involves a conversation between a child and an adult. However, time-out is typically a brief period of separation from stimuli or reinforcement. It does not necessarily involve a conversation during the time-out itself. Therefore, option C is not correct.
D. Suitable punishment for misbehavior: This option suggests that time-out is a suitable punishment for misbehavior. Time-out is indeed a commonly used form of punishment that can be effective in reducing problematic behaviors. So, option D is correct.
After considering all the options, it seems that your initial answer, option A, is incorrect. The correct answer is option D, as time-out is a suitable punishment for misbehavior.
