What is reinforcement and how does it impact behavior?
Reinforcement is any consequence that increases the frequency of a behavior and is the most effective way to increase behavior frequency.
What are some examples of positive and negative reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement can be a reward, while negative reinforcement can be a relief from something unpleasant.
What is punishment and how does it impact behavior?
Punishment is a consequence that decreases the frequency of a behavior.
What is shaping and how can it be used to change behavior?
Shaping involves reinforcing small steps towards a bigger goal and can be used to increase the frequency of desired behaviors.
What is extinction and how does it work in changing behavior?
Extinction involves reducing a behavior by removing ongoing reinforcement and works best when an alternative behavior replaces the unwanted behavior.
What are some potential challenges in changing behavior through reinforcement and extinction?
Intermittent reinforcement can make a behavior almost indestructible, and behavioral bursts can occur when reinforcement is stopped. Withholding reinforcement can lead to short-term escalation of behavior, and tantrums can escalate if reinforcement is given.
