The continued display of a behavior after reinforcement has been removed is known as
a. discriminative stimulus
b. negative punishment
c. resistance to extinction
d. secondary reinforcement

The spontaneous display of behavior even after withdrawing of the reinforcement is termed as resistance to extinction. In the circumstance of extinction, the behaviors, which no longer get reinforcements should no longer be possessed by the organism. However, in some of the cases the behavior can still exist even if the reinforcements are no longer provided. When this occurs, resistance to extinction takes place.
