Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 1
)
Extinction
Extinction is a conditioned response fading over time. For example, you might reward a child with a sticker each time s/he displays the appropriate behavior being targeted. After time, you might only reward him with a sticker every fifth time the appropriate behavior is seen. He then continues to show the appropriate behavior even though it is no longer being reinforced with a sticker.
