Extinction

Definitions

100

An immediate consequence that will increase the future strength of a behavior 

Reinforcer

200

When a behavior is followed by a change in stimulus conditions it results in that behavior being strengthened in the future.

Reinforcement 

300

When a behavior is followed by no change in stimulus conditions which results in that behavior being weakened in the future

Extinction 

400

A temporary recovery of the extinguished behavior

Spontaneous Recovery

500

A stimulus condition that temporarily alters the effectiveness of consequences ans evokes behaviors that have lead to the consequences in the past.

Motivating Operation

Random

100

Extinction or Neg. Punishment? 

Reinforcement is withheld

Extinction 

200

Extinction or Neg. Punishment?

Stimulus is withdrawn or taken away  (removed) 

Negative Punishment

300

An increase in response frequency immediately after the extinction procedure has been initiated 

Extinction Burst

400

True/False: Extinction results in an immediate decrease in the target behavior. 

False

500

This term describes stimuli that precede behavior 

"antecedent "

Function-based

100

Withholding attention contingent on target behavior 

Extinction- Attention

200

Withholding access to a preferred item contingent on problem behavior 

Extinction- Tangible

300

Withholding access to a break from demands contingent on problem behavior 

Extinction- Escape

400

Withholding access to specific sensory stimulation contingent on problem behavior 

Extinction- Automatic

500

Ignoring the client contingent on problem behavior 

Extinction- Attention ONLY

Graphs/ABC

100

The graph is also known as an ABAB graph involving a phase in which the baseline is repeated

Reversal Design

200

This type of graph displays a baseline and treatment 

AB graph ( does not show functional relationship)

300

A type pf deign is often used for self-management procedures when looking into increasing or decreasing specific behavior using a criterion. (stepwise fashion)

Changing Criterion Design

400

what does ABC stand for?

antecedent behavior consequence

500

A graph that involves multiple AB graphs in which the treatment is staggered across time. also shows a functional relationship.

MBD Multiple Baseline Design

What do I do?!?!

100

Jimmy engages in attention-maintained aggression. When he hits, extinction looks like...?

Withholding all forms of attention (e.g., eye contact, physical contact, vocal attention)

200

Susie engages in tangibly-maintained "dropping." Meaning, when she is denied access to preferred items, she drops to the ground. Extinction for this target behavior looks like...?

Withholding preferred items 

300

Tommy engages in ecscape-maintained elopement; he runs away. Extinction would look like...?

Physically following Tommy with the original demand to ensure he does not gain access to a break 

400

Sarah engages in automatically-maintained head banging. There was a functional analysis conducted that showed contact to her forehead and a hard surface is the sensory stimulus that reinforces the behavior. Extinction looks like...?

Withholding the sensory stimulation sought by banging her forehand against a hard surface. Things such as padding the table she sits at, presenting a pad on the floor, or having her wear protective gear on her head. 

500

There has been no function identified for a novel target behavior that you observed. Extinction looks like...?

NOTHING until I learn the function :)
