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Extinction happens when rewards for a certain behavior are withdrawn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

AOnly 1 is true

BOnly 2 is true

CBoth 1 and 2 are true

DNeither 1 or 2 is true

Show Suggested 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Extinction is a concept in behavioral learning that describes what happens when rewards for a certain behavior are withdrawn.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)

Huh, I always thought extinction was just about forgetting the behavior.

Wait, reconditioning takes as long as before? That sounds off.

I think neither statement is true, but I’m not completely confident. I need to double-check my notes on extinction.

I feel like I came across a similar question in practice, and it said both statements could be true, but I can't recall the details.

I'm not so sure about the second statement. I thought reconditioning could sometimes be quicker than the initial learning phase.

I remember that extinction is definitely about withdrawing rewards, so I think statement 1 is true.

This looks like a straightforward question, but I want to make sure I really understand the concepts before answering. I'm going to quickly review my notes on extinction and reconditioning to make sure I have the details right.

Okay, let me break this down. The first statement is definitely true - extinction is when a behavior is no longer reinforced. But the second one about reconditioning time, I'm not as sure about. I'll have to use my knowledge of the topic to make my best guess on that one.

This question seems straightforward - it's asking about the basic principles of extinction in behavioral learning. I'm pretty confident I can answer this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the second statement. I know extinction happens when rewards are withdrawn, but I'm not sure if reconditioning takes the same amount of time as before extinction. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the access patterns and how to design the row key for efficient querying in Bigtable.

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.

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.
