Extract

A problem behaviour which had been maintained on a variable reinforcement schedule was first put onto a continuous schedule and subsequently treated by extinction. The rapid response to extinction was judged to have been due to the prior move to a CRF schedule. Reasons for the emergence and maintenance of problem behaviours in certain situations are discussed.
