G-15 Use extinction

• Variable ratio schedule of reinforcement are most resistant to extinction, they are the strongest schedule to maintain behaviors.
• To be able to implement an extinction procedure, you need to know the function of the behavior to be able to withhold reinforcement. When using a/an extinction procedure, one must known the function of the behavior to correctly decrease/eliminate the behavior.
• Planned ignoring is the removal of social reinforcement for a limited time. It is only an effective extinction procedure if the fuctons of attention is the maintaining function, if the function was something else it will not be effective.
• Extinction involves withholding reinforcemnt for a previously reinforced behavior. So, in this case no longer removing the aversive SD after the behavior, withholds reinforcement.
• According to behavioral science, if an extinction procedure remains in effect, spontaneous recovery will likely be shor-lived and limited. 
• Extinction bursts occur during the beginning of an extinction procedure-they are an initial resistance to the intervention.
• Fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement are least resistant to extinction.
• Respondent extinction involves the presentation of the CS without the US after conditioning has occurred. Continuing to present the conditioned stimulus but withholding the unconditioned stimulus.
• Extinction involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior. So, in this case withholding reinforcement would be to block access to the tangible item.
• In order for extinction procedures to be effective, you must withhold reinforcement every single time. no excuses
• The function of the behavior is essential information to know when using extinction procedures-you need to know what is maintaining the behavior to withhold for fnture instances.
• Resurgence is when a behavior that was previouldy reinforced occurs again because another behavior has been put on extinction.
