Term
|
Definition
| behaviors that are maintained by negative reinforcement are not followed by termination of the aversive stimulus. Person cannot escape form the aversive situation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| discontinuing of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior, leads to a decrease in frequency of the behavior until it reaches a prereinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented |
|
|
Term
| extinction-induced variability |
|
Definition
| Phenomenon in which diverse and novel forms of behavior are sometimes observed during the extinction process. Individual is trying out new ways to contact the reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Refers to the reoccurrence of a previously reinforced behavior when reinforcement for an alternative behavior is terminated or decreased and to the three-phase procedure that produces the effect: (1) A target behavior is reinforced, (2) the target behavior is placed on extinction and reinforcement provided for an alternative behavior, and (3) both responses are placed on extinction. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the behavior suddenly begins to occur after its frequency has decreased to its prereinforcement level or stopped entirely |
|
|
Term
| function-based extinction |
|
Definition
| When the form of extinction matches the function of the problem behavior, the intervention is usually effective. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Any decrease in behavior is not necessarily extinction. If it is due to another behavior change procedure such as an abolishing operation, punishment etc. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| behavior is weakened by the passage of time during which the person has no opportunity to emit the behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| prevents the occurrence of the target behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| person can emit the problem behavior but it will not produce reinforcement. In contrast to response blocking where they cannot emit the problem behavior |
|
|
Term
| Non-contingent reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Extinction diminishes behavior by eliminating the reinforcing consequence, NCR diminishes behavior by creating an abolishing operation. |
|
|
Term
| secondary effects of extinction |
|
Definition
1. Extinction Burst
2. response variation (extinction-induced variability)
3. initial increase in response magnitude
4. Spontaneous recovery
5. resurgence
6. emotional outbursts and agression |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
relative concept, behavior that continues to occur during extinction.
Intermittent and variable schedules of reinforcement, and thinner reinforcement schedules, and stronger EO's create behaviors with relatively more resistance to extinction. Also affecting it is response effort, quality of reinforcers, and successive application of conditioning and extinction. |
