Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unwanted side-effects associated with the use of an extinction procedure are likely to appear shortly after the procedure is first implemented. This is because the individual may become frustrated or agitated when their previously reinforced behavior is no longer being rewarded. However, it is important to note that unwanted side-effects may also appear during the extinction burst (A) or when ratio schedules are increased too rapidly (C), but these are not the MOST likely times for side-effects to occur. The answer B is not a likely time for side-effects to occur as it is not related to the implementation of the extinction procedure.
