Key Characteristics

Increased Responding: The behavior that is being extinguished temporarily increases in frequency, intensity, or duration.

Temporary: The burst is a short-lived phase; the behavior will eventually decrease to low or zero levels as the person learns that the behavior no longer produces a reinforcement.

A Result of Extinction: It happens when the "contingency between a response and its reinforcing consequence is terminated".

Familiar Method: The individual is essentially trying the old method more forcefully, trying to get the desired result, not understanding that the contingency has changed.

Can't say that Krasnov and Nosferatu aren't doing their level best as cheerleaders to keep the hatred flowing.
