removal of objectionable' or aversive stimulus
Skinner
Ans: Absence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by
withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy in
the classroom when they ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been
rewarded by more attention.

behaviors. Behavior management and modification programs based on his

Behavioral methods are particularly effective with children, adolescents, and
individuals with many forms of chronic mental illness.
