Curtis finds that his girlfriend is quite uncommunicative this morning. given what we know about the side effects of extinction, which of the following behavior patterns would we expect curtis to display? a. an increase in his attempts to communicate with her. b. an increase in emotional behavior. c. an increase in aggression. d. an increase in variability of the behavior.

a. An increase in his attempts to communicate with her.

Explanation:

The term extinction refers to a behavioural phenomenon that takes place in operant and classical conditioning. This describes the fading of non-reinforced conditioned responses over time. This occurs when an operant behaviour that has been previously reinforced no longer produces reinforcing consequences, which leads to the behaviour gradually stopping. However, a side effect of extinction is the sudden and temporary increase in the response, such as in the case of Curtis.
