Introduction
Extinction is recognized as the phenomena in which behaviors that have been Pavlovian condition slowly begins to weaken over time without direct input into devaluing the original learnt behaviors.(Bouton, Winterbauer, & Todd, 2012) However, while in general cases this does happen studies have also found that if an alternate or replacement behavior is suddenly put into extinction the organism will very often begin to revert to another behavior implying that extinction isn’t unlearning or forgetting a behavior but rather quite simply doing another behavior in favor of another(Bouton et al., 2012)r.
In Animal studies resurgence has become an ever growing field of focus due to it relevancy to human behavior in terms …show more content…
The four groups of pigeons were then placed within the chamber once per day and were subjected to four different conditions each of which ran for 10 sessions for either 40 minutes or 60 reinforces, this was solely dependent on which came first. The first condition was fairly simple and aimed to train the pigeon to respond to key 1 using a schedule of Variable interval 30s. After 10 sessions the pigeons would be subjected to condition two were the pigeons would now be trained to respond to key to using the same Variable interval 30s second schedule; however, key 1 would now be put under extinction. Once this had been completed the birds would now be subjected to condition three, were the same Variable interval schedule would be placed on Key 3, but Key 2 and key 1 would undergo extinction. Once this was completed the birds would be subjected the final condition were all three keys would be placed under …show more content…
