Time out from positive positive reinforcement or simply time out is the immediate response contingent withdrawal of the opportunity to earn positive reinforcers or the immediate loss of access to positive reinforcers for a specified time
there are two basic categories of timeout available and applied settings non-exclusion and ————.
exclusion
non-exclusion timeout means that contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior. The participants remain physically within the time in setting, but elements of the settings are changed so that the opportunity to earn reinforcement is removed. A specific reinforcer is terminated. Repositioning occurs so that observations of ongoing activity continue but without reinforcement, the individuals removed to a different space within the times in setting.

non-exclusion timeout is typically implemented using one or four tactics
Planned ignoring terminating specific reinforcer contingent, observation, and partial selected space time out
planned ignoring
occurs when contingent on the occurrence of an inappropriate behavior the opportunity to earn social reinforcers usually attention physical contact or verbal interaction is removed
Terminating specific reinforcer contact is a variation of timeout whereby each occurrence of the target behavior, immediately stops and activity or sensory reinforcer example sucking your thumb and turning off the TV makes thumbsucking go away every time the TV is turned off
contingent observation, the person is repositioned within an existing setting such that he or she can observe on going activities but access to available reinforcers is lost sit and watch
A partition or select space time out the student remains within the time in setting, but his view within the setting is restricted by a panel or a cubicle or select space is arranged to serve as a time out area
exclusion time out is the —————— of the participant from the time in environment when timeout goes into effect
physical separation
desirable aspects of time out ease of application, acceptability, rapid suppression of behavior and can be combined with other applications
timeout should be used only when the evidence shows that less —————- procedures have failed
Intrusive
Release contingency the rationale for implementing a release contingency is twofold to mitigate the risk of adventitiously, reinforcing the behavior that leads to time out by releasing the person while the behavior is being admitted to reduce the effects of the behavior from carrying over or spilling into the timeout setting
response cost
is the response contingent loss of a specific number of positive reinforcers that has the effect of decreasing the future occurrence of similar responses?
response cost methods cash response cost bonus response cost
Cash response cost
hey fine is levied against a persons existing cash of positive reinforcers.
