The reemergence of an extinguished behavior, when the reinforcement for an alternative replacement behavior is discontinued (extinction) or when reinforcement is thinned too quickly.

When following a successful extinction procedure, the extinguished behavior reemerges because reinforcement for that behavior becomes available noncontingently.

When a behavior that was reduced or eliminated in one environment or context emerges in a new environment.

When reinforcement for the alternative replacement behavior is discontinued, extinction for the alternative behavior can resurge.

A temporary effect; when a reinforcer or punisher is removed, it should be expected that a change in responding can occur (for the worse) above or below baseline levels but…

The temporary reappearance of a behavior that was previously extinguished for a period of time.

An immediate increase in the rate of responding when an extinction procedure is first implemented.

A side effect of treatment that occurs in a multiple schedule of reinforcement or punishment when a change in the schedule of one part of the reinforcement or punishment contingency…

Test your knowledge of reinforcement and punishment procedures. PTB co-founder Dana Meller addresses the temporary effect in responding that is expected to occur during the implementation of the treatment procedures. Included, Dana contrasts the occurrence of a temporary increase in challenging behavior in an extinction procedure. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section H-5: Plan for possible unwanted effects when using reinforcement, extinction, and punishment procedures.

Test your knowledge of planning interventions with PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she explained the types of unwanted treatment side effects. Also included is a description of the two types of contrast effects, positive behavioral contrast and negative behavioral contrast, as well as corresponding examples. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section H-5: Plan for possible unwanted effects when using reinforcement, extinction, and punishment procedures.

Put your ABA terminology knowledge to the test with #PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she compares two commonly confused terms: Matching Law vs. Behavioral Contrast, and discusses corresponding examples of each. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections B-5: Define and provide examples of schedules of reinforcement, and H-5: Plan for possible unwanted effects when using reinforcement, extinction, and punishment procedures.
