OPERANT EXTINCTION NEAR ZERO.

G S REYNOLDS

    Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior
    |March 1, 1964
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Extinction training stops pecking behavior. However, reinforcing a third stimulus can reintroduce responding to previously extinguished stimuli, especially those less linked to extinction.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral psychology
    • Animal behavior studies

    Background:

    • Extinction is a fundamental concept in learning theory, describing the reduction of a learned response when reinforcement is withdrawn.
    • Understanding extinction is crucial for developing effective behavioral modification strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the resurgence of extinguished behaviors when a new stimulus is introduced.
    • To examine the influence of stimulus-response associations on the recovery of behavior after extinction.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects were exposed to extinction procedures for two distinct stimuli, suppressing pecking responses.
    • A third stimulus was then introduced and reinforced, leading to the resumption of pecking.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Extinction successfully reduced pecking rates to near zero for the trained stimuli.
  • Reinforcement of the third stimulus triggered a resurgence of pecking under the previously extinguished stimuli.
  • Responding was more pronounced to the stimulus with weaker prior association with extinction.

    • Conclusions:

    • Behavioral resurgence can occur even after complete extinction, highlighting the persistence of learned associations.
    • The degree of stimulus-extinction association influences the magnitude of behavioral recovery, offering insights into memory and learning processes.
