extinction burst

The phenomenon in which, when a behavior is no longer reinforced, the behavior temporarily increases in frequency, duration, or intensity before it decreases. Novel behaviors or emotional responses may also occur in an extinction burst.
|
|

resistance to extinction
|
The tendency for a person to continue to respond after extinction is in effect for the behavior. Intermittent reinforcement schedules make the behavior more resistant to extinction than do continuous reinforcement schedules.
