ABA glossary

Emotional responding

Crying, anger, aggression, or other emotional behavior that occurs when reinforcement stops or a punisher is delivered; aggression after extinction begins is called extinction-induced aggression.

Example from a session

When the tablet no longer follows screaming, Kim also kicks the table.
