In this training, we review how to decrease problem behavior from occurring in the future through various extinction procedures. Specifically, we will go over the definition, types, and examples of extinction. Furthermore, we will explain an extinction burst, spontaneous recovery, and resistance to extinction. Finally, we will discuss extinction guidelines for effective implementation of this procedure. 

Participants will learn:

1) The difference between proactive and reactive models of behavior support

2) The definition of extinction

3) The different types of extinction

4) What an extinction burst is

5) What spontaneous recovery of a behavior is

6) Specific guidelines when implementing extinction procedures
