Official Title: Basic and Applied Research on Extinction Bursts
Brief Summary: Although highly effective, treatments like FCT include extinction, which can have adverse side effects.
The extinction burst, an increase in the frequency or intensity of destructive behavior at the start of treatment, is the most common side effect of extinction, and can increase the risk of harm to the patient and others.
The goal of the current study is to evaluate the prevalence of extinction bursts when various parameters of reinforcement (i.e., rate, magnitude, quality) are manipulated.
