Studied by 10 peopleExtinction
- extinction: nonreinforcement of previously reinforced response; results in decrease in the strength response
- procedure: nonreinforcement of previously reinforced response
- process: resultant decrease in response strength
- side effects of extinction
- extinction burst: temporary increase in frequency and intensity of responding when extinction first implemented
- increase in variability: increase in variability of a behavior (ex: frustration, aggression, depression)
- resurgence: reappearance during extinction of other behaviors that had once been effective in obtaining reinforcement
- associated w Freud’s regression
- resistance to extinction: extent to which responding persists after extinction procedure has been implemented (can be high or low)
- differential reinforcement of other behavior
- reinforcement of any behavior other than the target behavior that is being extinguished
- more effective than simple extinction procedures
- reduces unwanted side effects of extinction
- functional communication training - behavior of clear and appropriate communication is differentially reinforced
