18. Extinction Tool for decreasing frequency of behavior
Withholding the reinforcers that maintain the behavior

Behavior may produce reinforcement from number of sources
It is slow and takes time
Extinction burst – extinction leads often for a short period to sudden increase of behavior on extinction
Sometimes we need quicker intervention – when somebody is really hurting somebody else, or destroying thigs – usually you will need to use punishment

24. Differential reinforcement
Combines extinction and reinforcement to change the frequency of target behavior
Procedure:
Put the undesirable behavior on extinction
Reinforce the desirable target behavior

25. Differential reinforcement types
DRL

DRA
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
DRI
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
