Document Summary
Forgetting: a behaviour is weakened as a function of time following its last occurrence. Behaviour: the setting in which extinction is carried out (minimize the possibility that other people will reinforce the behaviour you are trying to decrease; socially dif cult to carry out extinction in certain situations) Instructions: use rules (tell person each time you do x, then y will no longer occur) 4: extinction is quicker after continuous reinforcement. Intermittent reinforcement: arrangement in which a response is reinforced only occasionally rather than every time it occurs. Continuous reinforcement: arrangement in which each instance is a particular response is reinforced: behaviour being extinguished may get worse before it gets better. Extinction burst: increased in responding during extinction: extinction may produce aggression that interferes with the program, extinguished behaviour may reappear after a delay. Spontaneous recovery: reappearance of an extinguished behaviour following a rest. Type 1: principle of extinction operates whether or not we are aware of it.
