Reducing Coercive Measures
In the last course, we discussed that we should avoid coercive measures. Define how escape extinction (EE) falls under this category and how the high-p sequence may reduce reliance on EE.
Escape extinction (EE) is a behavioral intervention technique where the reinforcement of a behavior is discontinued to decrease or eliminate that behavior. Specifically, in the context of escape-maintained behaviors (behaviors aimed at escaping or avoiding a task or situation), EE involves preventing the individual from escaping the task or situation until the desired behavior is exhibited. This approach can be considered coercive because it often involves forcing the individual to remain in an aversive situation without allowing them to escape, which can cause distress, frustration, and escalation of problematic behaviors.
