Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Time-out is a form of behavioral modification that involves temporarily separating an individual from an environment where undesirable behavior has occurred, with the aim of decreasing that behavior. In this scenario, the student being told to sit by herself for ten minutes as a consequence of misbehaving is an example of a time-out.
