Extinction

In psychology, the gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus.

Classical Conditioning

A method where learning occurs by continuously associating two stimuli, making a response that was elicited by the second stimulus to be elicited by the first stimulus over time.

Conditioned Response

A response that is acquired after a previously neutral stimulus becomes linked with a stimulus that naturally induces a reaction.

  • Discern the procedures involved in acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, stimulus generalization, and discrimination during classical conditioning.
