Abstract
A modified extinction procedure was used to determine whether simple repeated exposure to intertrial reinforcement (ITR) was sufficient for loss of ITR replacement capacity. This modified extinction consisted of interpolating ITRs between extinction trials. Extinction performance suggested that ITR remained effective despite extended exposure during acquisition.
