The punishment procedure described in the scenario is a nonexclusionary time-out, as Sarah remains in the room but is removed from access to positive reinforcers (the other children's coloring materials). Exclusionary time-out involves completely removing the individual from the environment, while response cost involves taking away a previously earned reward as a consequence of unwanted behavior. Negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again, which is not applicable in this scenario.
