Term

Definition
| an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the relative frequency with which operant behavior is emitted during extinction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process by which behaviors maintained by automatic reinforcement are placed on extinction by masking or removing the sensory consequence |
|
|
