Which term best matches the description: The reinforcing environment is removed from the individual without relocating them?

• A. Seclusion time-out
• B. Withdrawal of materials
• C. Facial screening
• D. Time-in setting removed

Answer: (D)

Non-exclusionary time-out describes removing access to the reinforcing environment while keeping the person in the same location. In this approach, the individual remains in the room or setting but loses the opportunity to receive reinforcement for a short period. That matches the description of removing the time-in setting from the person without relocating them. This is different from seclusion time-out, which involves moving the person to a separate location; from withdrawal of materials, which deprives access to items but doesn’t specifically remove the reinforcing setting; and from unrelated procedures like facial screening.
