5 Flashcards
positive reinforcement extinction
Withhold consequence that was previously delivered after the behavior
Withhold consequence that was previously delivered after the behavior
positive reinforcement extinction
negative reinforcement extinction
Eliminating the escape or avoidance of aversive stimulation that was reinforcing the behavior
Eliminating the escape or avoidance of aversive stimulation that was reinforcing the behavior
negative reinforcement extinction
What are the differences between extinction and punishment?
extinction is behavior that has been previously reinforced for a period of time
punishment is a procedure resulting in the decreasing of behavior
What are the characteristics/effects of extinction bursts?
novel behavior may occur
emotional responses like anger may occur
extinction burst
wen behavior is no longer reinforced it often increases in frequency, duration or intensity before it decreases and ultimately stops
wen behavior is no longer reinforced it often increases in frequency, duration or intensity before it decreases and ultimately stops
extinction burst
spontaneous recovery
behavior may occur again even after it has not occurred for some time
behavior may occur again even after it has not occurred for some time
spontaneous recovery
How might you address extinction bursts and spontaneous recovery in a behavior modification procedure?
plan ahead for extinction burst for safety reasons
use differential reinforcement to limit burst and spontaneous recovery
What factors influence effectiveness of extinction?
1) intermittent reinforcement
2) continuous reinforcement
3) occurrence of reinforcement after extinction
4) behavior is more resistant to extinction if it was reinforced for a long time or value was high
5) number of previous extinction trials
response effort
When is extinction contraindicated?
when it’s no longer safe
