Which of the following statements about the concept of extinction in behavioral learning are true?

Extinction happens when rewards for a certain behavior are withdrawn

Reconditioning behavior after extinction takes as long as it did before extinction

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Extinction is a concept in behavioral learning that describes what happens when rewards for a certain behavior are withdrawn. This can lead to the behavior being reduced or eliminated over time. However, reconditioning behavior after extinction does not take as long as it did before extinction, as there is still some memory or association of the behavior and the reward. Therefore, only statement 1 is true. Reference: https://apmg-international.com/sites/default/files/Change%20Management%20Foundation%20Sample%20Paper%2013%20-%20v1.0.pdf (page 11)

I agree with Rebeca, both statements make sense to me. Extinction is all about removing rewards and reconditioning does take time.

I disagree, I believe only the first statement is true because extinction is specifically about the withdrawal of rewards for a behavior.

Wait, so if I forget the material, I have to study for as long as I did the first time? That's no bueno!

I think both statements are true because extinction does happen when rewards are withdrawn and reconditioning does take as long as before.

Option C is correct. Extinction happens when rewards for a certain behavior are withdrawn, and reconditioning behavior after extinction takes less time than before extinction.
