#04 - The Relationship Between Frustration and Extinction

Today's topic is frustration. The inspiration for today's topic is
brought to you by a combination of my personal life experience and
a Dr. Susan Friedman of BehaviorWorks. In one of her excellent
presentations at Clicker Expo, she mentioned: Happiness is a
function of positive reinforcement Depression is a function of
punishment and FRUSTRATION is a function of extinction. The first
two are interesting, but the third really struck me. And so that is
what this episode is about. Especially since I spend a lot of time
thinking about frustration. And dealing with frustrated dogs and
their frustrated handlers. And dealing with a frustrated child. And
being frustrated myself. At this point, I should basically be an
expert.
