What does Extinction in ABA mean? | RBT Study Guide |
|
When a problem behavior is no longer occurring, it's said to be extinct, and the process of eliminating it is known as extinction. In applied behavior analysis (ABA), extinction refers to the fading away and eventual elimination of undesirable behaviors. This is a huge accomplishment in ABA therapy and something we strive for.
In this video series, the team here at Chang & Associates Behavior Consultants provides a study guide for those seeking to become Applied Behavior Analysts. We cover topics such as Term Discrimination, Continuous Measurements, Term Preference and ABC Data. This series is perfect for anyone who wants to start or further their career in applied behavior analysis. Applied behavior analysts work with individuals who have autism or other developmental disabilities. They use principles of behavior to help people with these conditions improve their social, communication, and learning skills.
