Solution

The behavior being extinguished in this scenario is Sniffy's bar pressing behavior. This is achieved through the process of extinction, which involves the removal of reinforcement that was previously encouraging the behavior.

Here's how it was performed:

  1. Initially, Sniffy's bar pressing was associated with the sound of the magazine and the dispensation of a food pellet. This reinforcement encouraged Sniffy to continue pressing the bar.

  2. However, the reinforcement was removed. Sniffy's bar pressing was no longer associated with the magazine sound, and no food pellet was dispensed. This meant that the bar pressing behavior was no longer being reinforced.

  3. As a result of the lack of reinforcement, Sniffy's rate of bar pressing began to decline. It eventually reached a rate that was almost the same as it was at the start of training.

  4. Despite this, the primary consequence of extinction was an increase in Sniffy's bar-pressing speed. This is known as the extinction burst, which is a result of the change from continuous reinforcement to extinction.

  5. The Operant association’s window showed that the bar-sound association and action strength had been eliminated. However, the sound-food association remained because Sniffy did not receive food pellets without hearing the sound.

  6. Once the bar-pressing rate dropped below 2.5 presses in five minutes, the bar pressing behavior was considered extinguished.

  7. At this stage, the time taken to reach the extinction criterion from the start of extinction, as well as the number of responses in the same time, was noted down.

  8. However, it's important to note that a single extinction period is not enough to permanently reduce the occurrence of an operant response to its pre-training occurrence. This is supported by research conducted by Gibbon and Balsam in 1981.
