The technique described in the question is time out, which involves removing access to reinforcing stimuli (such as attention or toys) for a certain period of time immediately following noncompliance. Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a naturally occurring response, such as Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell. Stimulus substitution involves replacing an unwanted behavior with an alternative, desirable behavior. Secondary reinforcement involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a primary reinforcer (such as food) in order to eventually create a conditioned response to the neutral stimulus.
