Answer to Question 1

False . An extinction burst is a rapid increase in the frequency and/or intensity of the target behavior following cessation of reinforcement.

Answer to Question 2

Extinction is characterized by a gradual decrease in the frequency or amplitude of the target behavior. The decrease is typically not immediate. Often, extinction is accompanied by an extinction burst, which is an initial increase in the frequency of the response. In addition, there can be an initial increase in the amplitude of the responsemeaning that the intensity of the behavior may increase before it decreases. Extinction is also characterized by spontaneous recovery, which means that the target behavior typically reemerges after it has diminished. This is typically short-lived if the extinction procedure remains in place.
