Thus, extinction bursting is something that everyone who attempts to apply an operant extinction procedure should know about. Another option would be to conduct an operant extinction program in a setting in which a certain amount of aggression can be tolerated. Although these characteristics of spontaneous recovery are well documented in basic research, it has not been formally studied in applied research, and very few anecdotal reports of spontaneous recovery occurring in applications of operant extinction have been reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4805a82d wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flashcards<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-73\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"73\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Chapter 8 - Flashcards\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multiple Choice Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-14\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"14\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Chapter 8 - Multiple Choice Questions\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">True\/False<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-42\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"42\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Chapter 8 - True or False\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions for Learning<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-105\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"105\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Chapter 8- Questions for Learning\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operant extinction is most effective when combined with positive reinforcement for some desirable alternative behavior.
