When properly executed, the behavior management strategy known as time-out becomes A.a positive reinforcer B. more effective then logical consequences. Ca conversation between child and adult. D. suitable punishment for misbehavior.
pls help me is it D or???
yes i beleive it is d as well
I disagree.
Why isn't it C?
I like A. The kid adapts to understanding she wont get time out if she does not engage in bad behaviour.
well i agree now after going over the question again i have to agree with bobpursley with a because if the child is shown that she doesn't do bad things then she wont get time out it is like showing her do this and i wont get punuished.... postive
I'd argue it's a trick question since I don't think "time out" can ever be properly executed.
is not A.Is other C or D
Istart to believe more C
In order to determine the correct answer, let's break down the question and analyze the options.
Option A suggests that time-out is a positive reinforcer. A positive reinforcer is something that is presented after a behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future. However, time-out is not typically considered a positive reinforcer because it involves removing a child from a positive or reinforcing environment, such as playtime or engaging with others. Therefore, option A is not the correct answer.
Option B states that time-out is more effective than logical consequences. Logical consequences are a form of discipline that are directly related to the misbehavior. They are designed to help the child understand the relationship between their actions and the consequences that follow. Time-out is commonly used as a behavior management strategy and can be effective in addressing certain behaviors, but it does not necessarily make it more effective than logical consequences in all situations. Therefore, option B is not the correct answer.
Option C suggests that time-out involves a conversation between a child and an adult. However, time-out is typically the opposite of engaging in conversation or interaction. It involves removing the child from the situation and providing them with a brief break away from any potential reinforcement. Therefore, option C is not the correct answer.
Option D states that time-out is a suitable punishment for misbehavior. Punishment is typically considered a consequence that is used to decrease the likelihood of a behavior happening again. Time-out, as a form of consequence or discipline, is often used to address problematic behavior and provide children with an opportunity to reflect on their actions. This makes option D the most suitable answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is D - time-out is considered a suitable punishment for misbehavior.
