Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The teacher is using the process of extinction by removing the reinforcement previously given to Kathy's behavior of making faces, which was the attention from her classmates. By having the students completely ignore Kathy, they are withholding the reinforcing response that she received in the past, which will eventually lead to the extinction of her behavior.
