Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operant extinction is the process in which a learned behavior is gradually extinguished through lack of reinforcement. When a behavior is no longer reinforced, it will eventually become extinct or disappear from the individual's behavior repertoire. Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a previously extinguished behavior after a period of time has passed, counterconditioning involves replacing an unwanted response with a desired one through conditioning, and intermittent fading is a technique used to gradually decrease the strength or frequency of a behavior by decreasing the amount of reinforcement provided.
