Extinction Bursts Initial increases in the response frequency, magnitude, or intensity, especially if that response has an “emotional” Or aggressive component. Spontaneous Recovery A temporary recovery of the extinguished behavior during the first part of extinction sessions that follow the first session. Extinction What will happen if baseline contingencies occur during spontaneous recovery? What will happen if baseline contingencies occur during an extinction burst? Extinction vs. response cost time-out Recovery from Punishment Stopping the punishment or penalty contingency for a previously punished response causes the response frequency to increase to its frequency before the punishment or penalty
