Escape Extinction
Behaviors maintained with negative reinforcement are placed on this intervention when those behaviors are no longer followed by termination of the aversive stimulus; emitting the target behavior does not enable the person to get out of the aversive situation.
Extinction Burst
an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented.
Sensory Extinction
The process by which behaviors maintained by automatic reinforcement are prevented from being reinforced by masking or removing the sensory consequence for engaging in that behavior.
Extinction
The discontinuing of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior (i.e., responses no longer produce reinforcement); the primary effect is a decrease in the frequency of the behavior until it reaches a prereinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur.
Resistance to Extinction
The relative frequency with which operant behavior is emitted during extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
the reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response
