Extinction

Question 1

Behaviors maintained by negative reinforcement are not followed by termination of the aversive stimulus; emitting the target behavior does not enable escape from aversive stimulation

Answer 1

Escape Extinction

Question 2

The discontinuing of a previously reinforced behavior; primary effect is a decrease in the target behavior

Answer 2

Extinction

Question 3

An increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented

Answer 3

Extinction Burst

Question 4

Phenomenon in which diverse and novel forms of behavior are sometimes observed during the extinction process

Answer 4

Extinction Induced Variability

Question 5

The relative frequency with which operant behavior is emitted during extinction

Answer 5

Resistance to Extinction

Question 6

Reoccurrence of a previously reinforced behavior when reinforcement for an alternative behavior is terminated or decreased. (A) target behavior reinforced, (B) alt response reinforced, (C) neither behavior reinforced

Answer 6

Resurgence

Question 7

A behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the behavior suddenly begins to occur after its frequency has decreased to its pre-reinforcement level or stopped entirely.

Answer 7

Spontaneous Recovery

Question 8

A set of stimuli that share a common relationship. All stimuli in this type of class evoke the same operant behavior, or elicit the same respondent behavior

Answer 8

Antecedent stimulus class

Question 9

Antecedent stimuli that evoke the same response but do not resemble each other in physical form or share a relational aspect

Answer 9

Arbitrary stimulus class
