Detailed explanation-1: -All three forms of extinction procedures decrease the occurrence of problem behavior over time. Very simply, extinction equates to lack of reinforcement. Instead of getting something good to strengthen the behavior, or having something added or taken away to suppress the behavior, nothing happens.
Detailed explanation-2: -Possible unwanted side effects of extinction: Increased behavior (extinction burst) Spontaneous recovery – the behavior comes back for a brief time for no apparent reason. Some desirable behaviors are sometimes accidentally “ignored” and may cease.
Detailed explanation-3: -What Is It? Extinction procedures gradually reduce or eliminate a challenging behavior maintained by escape or attention by removing the reinforcement that is known to maintain challenging behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Extinction” is a formal term, but it basically means our ABA therapists want to get to the bottom of the function or cause of a certain behavior and then terminate access to that function in order to extinguish the behavior.
