Question

Which statement is false? a. An extinction burst is the complete cessation of the target behavior after the extinction procedure has started. b. Extinction procedures should not be used with behaviors that cause serious injury to the subject. c. If the behavior analyst does not have the ability to control the subject's access to reinforcement, an extinction procedure should not be implemented. d. Spontaneous recovery of the target behavior will be short-lived, as long as the extinction procedure remains in effect

Answer 1

A is false :)

Answer 2

a. An extinction burst is the complete cessation of the target behavior after the extinction procedure has started is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An extinction burst is one's reaction to a stimulus that has already produced positive reinforcements but that don't exist anymore, meaning that if a person is rewarded for his response after the stimulus, the person will continue doing it even if the reward stops. Due to this, letter A is the correct answer.
