literature discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
To keep behaviors in an individual’s repertoire, reinforcement must occur. When reinforcement is discontinued, the behavior stops occurring. This process is called extinction.
Think of a behavior that you have experienced. This can be a behavior exhibited by yourself, a client, or another person.
In your post:
Describe the behavior in objective terms.
Describe how the extinction contingency played a role in the discontinuation of this behavior.
Describe extinction burst. If possible, relate this to your example.
Explain any bursts that may have occurred in your extinction contingency example.
RESPONSE GUIDELINES
Read the posts of your peers and respond to two. Your response should be substantive and demonstrate your understanding of the material. What aspects of the post do you like or agree with, and why? Are there areas that are not clear? Did the post spark questions that you would like to ask your peer? In this, and in all of your courseroom posts, be sure to keep your tone scholarly, respectful, and professional.
There are various ways that a behavior analyst can reduce unwanted behaviors. Punishment was discussed earlier this quarter, but problem behavior can be decreased through a less aversive procedure called extinction. Extinction withholds reinforcement, rather than adding or removing a consequence. Extinction is another basic principle of behavior, and we will explore it this week.
For this assignment:
Write a paper explaining the concept of extinction. Be sure to explain how extinction relates to the presence or absence of reinforcement in your definition. Provide support for your explanation from your course texts.
Present three real-world, detailed examples of how a behavior may be placed on extinction.
