MODIFIKASI PERILAKU PENGHAPUSAN (EXTINCTION) PADA PERILAKU MEMBANTING PINTU & MELEMPAR BARANG SAAT MARAH PADA ANAK USIA 5 – 6 TAHUN

Abstract

Extinction (Removal) is stopping reinforcement for behavior that was previously reinforced. Extinction occurs when as long as a behavior is reinforced, even if only for a short time or not too long, the behavior will continue to exist. This research aims to analyze the condition and behavior of children before and after receiving elimination behavior modification, the effect of deletion behavior modification in overcoming children's behavior of slamming doors. The aim of this research is that eliminating behavior modification can relieve and overcome the symptoms of slamming doors when angry in early childhood. In this research, the approach used is a case study. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. Research data collection techniques use observation and interviews. A behavior modification program using the extinction elimination method is considered good enough to reduce the behavior of slamming doors and throwing things when angry at children. This is done with the aim that parents and educators can find out about children's behavior, both positive (adaptive) behavior and negative or deviant (maladaptive) behavior. The need for behavior modification in improving early childhood behavior is one strategy for dealing with negative or deviant behavior in children, such as children with temper tantrums such as slamming doors and throwing things.
