Taking away iPad privileges when a student hits another child would be considered a(an) principle for decreasing or extinguishing undesired behavior.

A response cost principle

Explanation:

Response cost is a punishment method that entails the loss of token, privileges, or points, following the occurrence of an inappropriate or bad behavior or failure to meet some specific goal.

Response cost can be utilized as an element of a positive reinforcement program, such as a token economy. By taking away something (a favorite item, access to reinforcement) you reduce the possibility that the target behavior will appear again.
