Describe positive and negative reinforcement contingencies that occur as a result of engaging in the behavior. (Hint: think about what is maintaining your identified behavior and what you will be withholding when you implement the extinction procedure.)

Define the behavior operationally.
• Describe the antecedent to the behavior.
• Describe the consequences of the behavior.
• Describe positive and negative reinforcement contingencies that occur as a result of engaging in the behavior. (Hint: think about what is maintaining your identified behavior and what you will be withholding when you implement the extinction procedure.)
• Identify procedures that can end up reinforcing the unwanted target behavior, and explain the potential results of improperly implementing these procedures that were meant to help extinguish the unwanted target behavior.
• Identify the extinction techniques that you feel will most effectively reduce the target behavior and explain why you feel these will be most effective. (Hint: think back to your identified positive and negative reinforcements to help you identify what you should be withholding to change the behavior through an extinction procedure.)
