This example illustrates extinction, which is the gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a behavior due to the behavior no longer being reinforced. In this case, the behavior of bringing home drawings and receiving praise from her parents is no longer being reinforced by having the pictures displayed on the refrigerator, so Kylee has stopped engaging in the behavior of bringing home drawings.
