Question 1

Describe the use of extinction to reduce temper tantrums. Include:
$\bullet$the client
$\bullet$the reinforcer
$\bullet$the results

Accepted Answer

Extinction is a behavior modification technique that involves removing the reinforcement that is maintaining a behavior in order to decrease the frequency of that behavior. In the case of temper tantrums, extinction can be used to reduce the occurrence of these disruptive behaviors.

First, the client's temper tantrums are identified and the specific triggers or antecedents that lead to the tantrums are identified. This could include things like not getting their way, being told no, or being ignored.

Next, the reinforcer that is maintaining the temper tantrums is identified. This could be attention from caregivers, getting what they want, or escaping a task or demand.

Once the triggers and reinforcers are identified, the extinction process can begin. This involves systematically ignoring the tantrum behavior and not providing the reinforcement that the client is seeking. This means not giving in to their demands, not providing attention during the tantrum, and not allowing the client to escape from a task or demand by having a tantrum.

Over time, with consistent implementation of extinction, the client's temper tantrums should decrease in frequency and intensity. It's important to note that extinction can initially lead to an increase in the behavior (known as an extinction burst) as the client tests to see if the behavior will still work to get the desired reinforcement. However, if the extinction process is consistently applied, the behavior should eventually decrease and extinguish.

It's important to note that extinction should be used in conjunction with other behavior modification techniques and in consultation with a qualified behavior analyst or therapist. It's also important to ensure that the client's needs are still being met in appropriate ways and that alternative, more appropriate behaviors are being reinforced.
