Negative reinforcement extinction
A process where the maintaining negative reinforcer no longer follows a specific behavior, resulting in that behavior decreasing and eventually ceasing.
Operant extinction
A process where a maintaining reinforcer is no longer provided, and the behavior that has been maintained by that reinforcer decreases and eventually ceases.
Positive reinforcement extinction
A process where the maintaining positive reinforcer no longer follows a specific behavior, resulting in that behavior decreasing and eventually ceasing.
Respondent extinction
When a previously neutral stimulus that was paired with an unconditioned stimulus to become a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus, and
