Question 1

discontinuing reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior

Answer 1

extinction

Question 2

behavior reduction procedure in which reinforcement for escape-maintained behavior is withheld; used for bx that are maintained by negative reinforcement

Answer 2

escape extinction

Question 3

temporary increase in frequency, intensity, or duration of bx after reinforcement is first withheld/when an extinction procedure is initially implemented

Answer 3

extinction burst

Question 4

temporary increase in novel or varied/diverse forms of a bx during the extinction process. in shaping, variability occurs when previous approximations are no longer reinforced, leading to new bxs. in chaining, variability occurs when a step no longer is reinforced, causing changes in response patterns.

Answer 4

extinction-induced variability

Question 5

reappearance of a previously extinguished bx after a period of time

Answer 5

spontaneous recovery

Question 6

reappearance of a previously reinforced bx when reinfocement for a more recently reinforced bx is placed on extinction

Answer 6

resurgence

Question 7

continued occurrence of a bx despite the removal of reinforcement
