Ch 5: Quizes Flashcards
During extinction, a previously reinforced behavior is no longer followed by a reinforcer, and the behavior _______ in the future.
decreases or stops occurring
During an extinction burst, the behavior may temporarily increase in _______, _______ or _______ .
frequency, duration or intensity
During extinction of a positively reinforced behavior, the _______ is no longer delivered after the behavior.
reinforcer
During extinction of a negatively reinforced behavior, the _______ is no longer removed after the behavior.
aversive stimulus
During _______ a previously extinguished behavior occurs again in the future.
spontaneous recovery
Besides a temporary increase in the behavior, what are two other things that might happen during an extinction burst?
novel behavior may occur
emotional responses or aggressive behavior may occur
When does extinction involve ignoring the behavior?
when attention is the reinforcer for the behavior
The behavior will decrease _______ (more/less) quickly during extinction after intermittent reinforcement than continuous reinforcement.
less
A child cries in the store and the parent gives the child candy. As a result, the child is more likely to cry in the store.
What is the reinforcer for crying in this case?
How would the parent use extinction for crying in this case?
getting candy
when the child cries in the store, no longer give candy to the child
During extinction, a previously reinforced behavior _______ , and the behavior stops occurring in the future.
is no longer reinforced
The temporary increase in a behavior during extinction is called a(n) _______.
extinction burst
During extinction of a _______ (positively/negatively) reinforced behavior, a reinforcer is no longer delivered after the behavior.
positively
During extinction of a _______ (positively/negatively) reinforced behavior, an aversive stimulus is no longer removed after the behavior.
negatively
During spontaneous recovery, what happens to a behavior that had stopped occurring as a result of extinction?
it occurs again
During an extinction burst, the behavior might temporarily increase. In addition, _______ behaviors or _______ behaviors might occur.
novel, emotional behavior
Two factors that influence extinction are the schedule of reinforcement before extinction and _______ after extinction.
reinforcement
The behavior will decrease _______ (more/less) quickly during extinction after continuous reinforcement than intermittent reinforcement.
more
A child cries when her mother is brushing her teeth, and her mother stops brushing. As a result, the child is more likely to cry when she gets her teeth brushed.
Does this example illustrate positive or negative reinforcement for crying?
How would the child’s mother use extinction for crying in this case?
negative
when the child cries, do not stop brushing her teeth
During extinction, what happens immediately after the occurrence of the behavior?
the behavior is no longer reinforced
During an extinction burst, a behavior _______ in frequency, duration, or intensity.
increases
During extinction of a positively reinforced behavior, the positive reinforcer is _______ following the behavior.
no longer delivered
During extinction of a negatively reinforced behavior, the aversive stimulus is _______ following the behavior.
no longer removed
When a behavior occurs again in the future even though it had stopped occurring after extinction, the process is called
spontaneous recovery
What are two types of behaviors that might occur during an extinction burst?
novel, emotional or aggressive behaviors
Two factors that influence extinction are the _______ before extinction and the occurrence of reinforcement after extinction.
schedule of reinforcement
What type of reinforcement schedule before extinction results in the most rapid decrease in the behavior during extinction?
continuous reinforcement or CRF
Ms. Jones pushes the button on her garage door opener each time she drives in the driveway, and the door opens.
Is this an example of positive or negative reinforcement?
Describe extinction of the behavior of pushing the button on the garage door opener.
positive
when she pushes the button, the door no longer opens
