Name and explain the four key effects of extinction
What will be an ideal response?
Extinction is characterized by a gradual decrease in the frequency or amplitude of the target behavior. The decrease is typically not immediate. Often, extinction is accompanied by an extinction burst, which is an initial increase in the frequency of the response. In addition, there can be an initial increase in the amplitude of the response—meaning that the intensity of the behavior may increase before it decreases. Extinction is also characterized by spontaneous recovery, which means that the target behavior typically reemerges after it has diminished. This is typically short-lived if the extinction procedure remains in place.
