Week 5 - Extinction, Punishment, Escape & Avoidance

[blank_start]Spontaneous Recovery[blank_end]: the reappearance of the target behaviour following its extinction. [blank_start]Rapid Reacquisition[blank_end]: can be faster than initial acquisition. [blank_start]Resurgence[blank_end]: occurs when a behaviour that is used to produce reinforcement in the past appears. [blank_start]Renewal[blank_end]: extinction is context specific, context can determine whether an extinguished CS can reappear. [blank_start]Reinstatement[blank_end]: extinguished fear reappears when unsignalled presentations of the US are interposed between the completion of extinction training and a subsequent test, but only if those presentations occur within the context of the test

Operant responses are always context dependent.

Extinction is more context-dependent than original conditioning.

Negative punishment is preferable to positive punishment.

[blank_start]Escape[blank_end]: getting away from an aversive stimulus is progress. [blank_start]Avoidance[blank_end]: preventing the delivery of an aversive stimulus.

[blank_start]Active[blank_end] Avoidance: makes a response to avoid event. [blank_start]Passive[blank_end] Avoidance: learns not to make any response in order to avoid the event.

[blank_start]OCD[blank_end] typically involves an active avoidance response. [blank_start]Phobic behaviour[blank_end] typically involves a passive avoidance response.
