When I was a kid we got both.
A spanking and a grounding, and by grounding we're talking a week with no T.V. no playing with your friends, you came home did chores, ate dinner and studied period.
There was no hour long time out, it was physical back breaking labour, physical punishment and studying.
I once got grounded for a month.
Later on the physical punishment vanished, and my folks didn't need to ground me much, and it was mostly amped up chores. You learn a lesson after painting the house, or sanding the back yard deck with a sand paper block. One day I had to pull a tree down.
