Overshooting in models of main-sequence stellar interiors is investigated in terms of a rising convective element which reaches the formal boundary of the core and then continues to rise until buoyant deceleration stops it. The negative energy flux carried by the convective element is included in the calculations. This approach is shown to suggest that overshooting is a feature of the steady pattern of convection, rather than an episodic phenomenon due to occasionally energetic elements. It is found that the extent of overshooting will be increased by the ability of the motions to cool the medium, since such cooling will bring the temperature gradient nearer to the adiabatic one and, thus, reduce the effects of deceleration.
