Extinction

Extinction

________: nonreinforcement of a previously reinforced response, the result of which is a decrease in the strength of the response.

Resurgence

________: reappearance during extinction of other behaviors that had once been effective in obtaining reinforcement.

Procedure

________: nonreinforcement of a previously reinforced response.

Resistance

________ to extinction: responding persists after an extinction procedure has been implemented.

Spontaneous recovery

________: reappearance of an extinguished response following a rest period after extinction.

Discrimination training

________: involves reinforcement of responding in the presence of one stimulus and not another stimulus.

Generalization gradient

________: graphic description of the strength of responding in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the sd and that vary along a continuum.

Degree of deprivation

________: greater the level of deprivation, the greater the resistance to extinction.

Stimulus control

________: presence of a discriminative stimulus reliably affects the probability of the behavior.

History of reinforcement

________: the more reinforcers an individual has received for a behavior, the greater the resistance to extinction.

Extinction burst

________: temporary increase in frequency and intensity of responding when extinction is first implemented.

extinction

nonreinforcement of a previously reinforced response, the result of which is a decrease in the strength of the response

procedure

nonreinforcement of a previously reinforced response

process

resultant decrease in response strength

extinction burst

temporary increase in frequency and intensity of responding when extinction is first implemented

emotional behavior

frustration

resurgence

reappearance during extinction of other behaviors that had once been effective in obtaining reinforcement

resistance to extinction

responding persists after an extinction procedure has been implemented

history of reinforcement

the more reinforcers an individual has received for a behavior, the greater the resistance to extinction

magnitude of reinforcer

large-magnitude reinforcers result in greater resistance to extinction than small-magnitude reinforcers

degree of deprivation

greater the level of deprivation, the greater the resistance to extinction

previous experience with extinction

when sessions of extinction are alternated with sessions of reinforcement, the greater the number of prior exposures to extinction, the quicker the behavior will extinguish during subsequent exposures

distinctive signal for extinction

extinction is greatly facilitated when there is a distinctive stimulus that signals the onset of extinction

spontaneous recovery

reappearance of an extinguished response following a rest period after extinction

differential reinforcement of other behavior

extinguishing the target behavior and reinforcement the occurrence of a replacement behavior

ex

functional communication training with jonah from tiktok

stimulus control

presence of a discriminative stimulus reliably affects the probability of the behavior

stimulus generalization

tendency for an operant response to be emitted in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to the responding stimulus

generalization gradient

graphic description of the strength of responding in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the sd and that vary along a continuum

stimulus discrimination

tendency for an operant response to be emitted more in the presence of one stimulus than another

discrimination training

involves reinforcement of responding in the presence of one stimulus and not another stimulus

discriminative stimulus for extinction

stimulus that signals the absence of reinforcement

peak shift effect

peak of a generalization gradient following discrimination training will shift from the sd to a stimulus that is further removed from the striangle
