PSY-2700 Lecture 11: Extinction
Document Summary
Id reinforcers- so they can possibly be used for a more positive behavior. Two pronged approach- when we ignore or punish a behavior it just tells them what not to do, not what to do. Bootleg reinforcement- one parent wants to extinguish behavior and ignores bad behavior, other parent gives in. Contrive the situation so it doesn"t get worse: go to grocery store when you don"t have to, make sure child is well fed, then reinforce the good behavior before the child has a chance to be bad. Two types of timeout: should be under extinction. Can go to timeout room on own to calm down and get back so you can further get tokens to get out of that school.
