graduated extinction  

Définition

  • Extinction is a term used to describe how a reinforced behavior becomes less frequent if reinforcement for that behavior is withdrawn. Eventually, if the behavior is not reinforced over a period of time, the behavior will cease. Extinction procedures are typically applied by removing a reinforcer in its entirety following a behavior (e.g., removing all attention from a tantrumming child). Graduated extinction is an application of the extinction principle that removes a reinforcer for a behavior in an incremental fashion or reduces the magnitude of reinforcement incrementally.
