If you decide to stop feeding your dog any food from the table,in order to reduce the dog's behaviour of begging at the table,which procedure are you using

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure being used is extinction as it involves withholding reinforcement (food from the table) in order to reduce the behavior of begging. Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations towards a desired behavior, reinforcement involves increasing the likelihood of a behavior by providing a consequence, and punishment involves decreasing the likelihood of a behavior by providing a consequence. None of these procedures precisely fit the situation described.
