Extinction Extinction is a very straightforward technique that keeps the target behavior from happening by withholding results, and it declines. The behavior definition of extinction per Miltenberger (2015) asserts a behavior that has been already reinforced never again brings about the reinforcing outcomes and, in this manner, the behavior quits occurring later on. Also, extinction as a technique took place when reinforcement of a formerly strengthened behavior ceased; thus, the recurrence of that

2). Because of the loss of wolves, elk, a wolf’s main prey, were able to roam freely and undisturbed. This led to the disappearance of trees and vegetation along streams—and the loss of beaver habitat (Lovgren 2). Large predators, such as lions, tigers, leopards, and bears, are often susceptible to “big game” hunting. These animals usually get hunted for their fur and sometimes meat. Killing predator’s prey also declines the chance of them surviving. Ecosystems contain all kinds of
