I lean towards C. Rapid changes can confuse the individual.

A seems right too. Extinction bursts happen fast.

Wait, are we really saying side effects show up right away?

Not so sure about that, B could be a contender too.

I think it's D, right after it's implemented.

D is the way to go. The side-effects are bound to appear right after the procedure starts, before the individual adjusts.

Haha, I bet the side-effects would show up immediately after the extinction burst. That's just Murphy's Law in action!

B is the correct answer. The individual realizing the procedure will be implemented consistently is the key factor.

C seems like the right answer to me. Increasing the ratio schedules too rapidly can definitely lead to unwanted side-effects.

I think the answer is D. The side-effects are most likely to appear shortly after the procedure is first implemented.

I practiced a similar question about ratio schedules, so I wonder if C could be a factor if the changes are too fast.

I’m not sure, but I feel like it could be B too, especially if the individual starts to catch on to what's happening.

I remember discussing extinction bursts in class, so maybe A is the right choice since that’s when things get really intense.

I think the unwanted side-effects might show up right after the procedure starts, so I’m leaning towards D.

I'm pretty confident the answer is C. When ratio schedules are increased too rapidly, that's when you're most likely to see those unwanted side-effects pop up. The other options don't seem as relevant to me.

Okay, for this type of question, I usually try to think through the process step-by-step. The key here is understanding when the side-effects are most likely to appear in the extinction procedure. I'm leaning towards D, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I was thinking it might be B, since the side-effects could show up once the person realizes the procedure will be consistently applied. But D also makes sense. I'll have to think this through more carefully.
