It is important to consider the setting in which extinction will be carried out in order to:
A)capitalize on use of instructions
B)put the undesirable behavior on intermittent reinforcement before introducing extinction
C)maximize the chances of the behavior modifier persisting with the program
D)minimize spontaneous recovery

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The setting in which extinction will be carried out is important in maximizing the chances of the behavior modifier persisting with the program. The setting should be supportive, consistent, and conducive to learning in order to help the individual maintain and generalize the new behavior. Capitalizing on use of instructions, putting the undesirable behavior on intermittent reinforcement before introducing extinction, and minimizing spontaneous recovery are important aspects of behavior modification, but they are not directly related to the setting in which extinction will be carried out.
