Non-exclusionary time-out involves introducing a stimulus associated with less reinforcement, such as removing attention or access to preferred items, in order to decrease the occurrence of a behavior. Response cost involves removing a previously earned reinforcer, exclusionary time-out involves removing the individual from the current situation, and negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the occurrence of a behavior.
