#1
What is behavior extinction?
The reduction in the frequency of a behavior by withholding reinforcement
ExplanationDecrease in behavior frequency by not rewarding it.
#2
Which of the following is an example of behavior extinction?
Ignoring a child when they throw a tantrum
ExplanationNot responding to tantrum decreases its occurrence.
#3
What is the role of extinction in operant conditioning?
To decrease the frequency of a behavior
ExplanationDecreasing behavior occurrence.
#4
Which of the following is NOT a consequence of behavior extinction?
Increase in the intensity of the behavior
ExplanationExtinction does not amplify behavior intensity.
#5
Which of the following best describes the process of behavior extinction?
Decreasing the frequency of a behavior by withholding reinforcement
ExplanationDiminishing behavior frequency by not rewarding it.
#6
What is the term for the reappearance of an extinguished behavior following a delay?
Spontaneous recovery
ExplanationBehavior returns after a pause.
#7
What is spontaneous recovery in behavior extinction?
The return of an extinguished behavior after a delay
ExplanationBehavior resurfaces after a pause.
#8
Which of the following is a factor that influences the effectiveness of behavior extinction?
Consistency in applying extinction procedures
ExplanationRegular application enhances efficacy.
#9
What is the concept of renewal in behavior extinction?
The return of an extinguished behavior in a new context
ExplanationBehavior reappears in a different setting.
#10
In behavior extinction, what is the term for the gradual decrease in the frequency of a behavior over time due to lack of reinforcement?
Response decrement
ExplanationGradual decline due to lack of reward.
#11
Which of the following is NOT a common challenge in implementing behavior extinction?
Consistent reinforcement
ExplanationConsistent reinforcement isn't a challenge.
#12
What is the term for the tendency of an extinguished behavior to reappear in the presence of a novel stimulus?
Response generalization
ExplanationBehavior returns in new situations.
#13
What is extinction burst in behavior modification?
The temporary increase in the frequency of a behavior during extinction
ExplanationBehavior intensifies before diminishing.
#14
What is an example of behavior extinction in everyday life?
Turning off the television when a child throws a tantrum for attention
ExplanationRemoving attention to discourage tantrum.
#15
In behavior extinction, what is the term for the gradual reduction in the frequency of a behavior when reinforcement is no longer provided?
Response decrement
ExplanationDecrease due to absence of reward.
#16
What is the term for the phenomenon where an extinguished behavior reappears following a change in environmental context?
Renewal effect
ExplanationBehavior resurfaces in new environments.
#17
What is resurgence in behavior extinction?
The reappearance of a previously eliminated behavior following the extinction of a replacement behavior
ExplanationOld behavior returns after new one is removed.
