Extinction of operant behavior, which involves terminating the reinforcement contingency that maintains a response, is important to the development, generalization, and reduction of behavior in clinical settings. We review basic and applied research findings on variables that influence the direct and indirect effects of extinction and discuss the potential value of a general technology for the use of extinction. We suggest that current research findings are not sufficient for the development of a comprehensive, applied technology of extinction and provide extensive guidelines for further studies on factors that may affect the course of extinction in clinical settings.
操作性行为的消退，涉及终止维持某种反应的强化偶联，这对临床环境中行为的发展、泛化及减少而言至关重要。我们回顾了关于影响消退的直接和间接效应的变量的基础研究和应用研究结果，并讨论了一种用于消退的通用技术的潜在价值。我们认为目前的研究结果不足以发展出一种全面的、应用于临床的消退技术，并为进一步研究可能影响临床环境中消退过程的因素提供了广泛的指导方针。
