Answer:

The answer is Punishment. That Isabella is not allowed to participate in her soccer game because she was disruptive at the previous practice is an example of punishment.

According to the theory of operant conditioning, there a two ways of modifying a person's behavior: reinforcement and punishment. Reinforcement is targeted to reinforce and maintain a certain behavior, punishment is targeted to stop and eliminate a certain behavior.
