Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An extinction burst is a temporary increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of the behavior that is being extinguished. Additionally, novel and emotional behaviors may occur as the individual tries new approaches to obtain the reinforcer that is no longer available. It is not a permanent change in behavior, as the behavior may reoccur if the reinforcer is reintroduced or another reinforcing behavior is discovered.
