Behavioral Extinction in Interactive Game Environment
A behavioral research project examining extinction processes within a video game-based environment. Participants interacted with a custom-built system that delivered and withdrew reinforcement based on input patterns, allowing for the observation of changes in behavior over time. The project focused on how interactive feedback, timing, and engagement influence persistence and response reduction during extinction. Data collected included real-time inputs, response frequency, and temporal patterns, providing a controlled framework for analyzing behavior in an interactive digital context.
