TOPIC 6 - Extinction Flashcards
Breaking association
extinction
procedure of WITHHOLDING REINFORCERS that maintain a behaviour
Operant extinction
procedure of presenting CS WITHOUT US
Classical extinction
behaviour previously reinforced, no longer followed by reinforcing consequences, behaviour weakens
operant extinction
Removal of positive reinforcer
extinction for positively reinforced behaviour
No longer removing an aversive stimulus
extinction of NEGATIVELy reinforced (removed stimulus before, not removing it anymore)
Putting behaviour back to natural response by having a conditioned stimulus NO LONGER being followed by an unconditioned stimulus
classical extinction
Properties of operant extinction: Increase in frequency, duration, intensity of unreinforced behaviour during extinction process
EXTINCTION BURST
BURST OF TRYING TO DO BHEAVIOUR EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT BEING REINFORCED DURING EXTINCTION PROCESS
VI PRESSING THE VENDING MACHINE BUTTON
Properties of operant extinction: Other behaviours more likely to occur during extinction
increase in operant variability
properties of operant extinction: Heightened emotional state during extinction can lead to
aggression (no shit)
Properties of operant conditioning: Tendency for extinguished behaivour to occur again in SIMILAR situations
spontaneous recovery
Schedules that reinforce more intermittently TAKE LONGER TO EXTINGUISH
- it’s the uncertainty
- think toxic relationships - sometimes they love you sometimes they don’t JUST LIKE MOM FR
partial reinforcement effect (PRE)
Positive behaivour that allows you obtain the same/similar outcome to the outcome you get from the undesired target behaviour
functionally-equivalent behaviour
Altering antecedents and consequences instead of straight up using punishment is seen as
functional
FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS:
- IDENTIFY + DEFINE TARGET BEHAVIOUR
- Baseline data
- Functional assessment
- Develop implement treatment
- Tweak
FUNCTIONAL
FUNCTIONAL MEANS ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENCES
Manipulate antecedents and consequences, observe behavioural changes, replicate
Functional assessment
TWO TYPES OF FUNCTIONAOL ASSESSMENT:
exploratory - range of functions
hypothesis testing - test from descriptive assessment
TARGET BEHAVIOUR
TARGET BAHEAIOR AT NEW BASELINE
ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENCES _ IDENTIFY THE REINFORCES AND IF ITS POSIBLE TO ELIMINATE
TEST IT OUT
extinction functional assessment
Reinforcement positive or negative by REINFORCEMENT BY OTHERS:
NOT reinforced by others:
social positive/negative reinforcement
automatic positive/negative reinforcement
Continuous reinforcement used means extinction will be more/less effective:
Intermittent (inconsistent TOXIC) reinforcement used means extinction will be more/less effective:
continuous -= effective extinction
intermittent - resistant to extinction
Instead of extinction and punishment you can
reinforce other behaviours
Getting the shift in behaviour to apply in MULTIPLE situations and environments
generalization
What’s hard about extinction
need to identify the right reinforcer because their might be multiple
