Answer: Punishment did not infuse to change her behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

Punishment is the form of penalizing someone for their bad deeds , behavior act,It helps in disciplining and correcting the negative behavior of the person. Punishing makes them realize that certain act should not be repeated in future.

According to the question, Tim threatening to give punishment as spanking to Allison would not make her understand that how undesired should not occur in future .Allison has not understood her undesired behavior and how she should not perform soiling again or change behavior.
