Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, the CS (conditioned stimulus) is paired with the US (unconditioned stimulus) to produce the CR (conditioned response). When this pairing is repeated many times, the CS alone can produce the same response, which is called a CR. Extinction occurs when the CS is repeatedly presented without the US, causing the CR to eventually decrease and disappear. Therefore, the correct answer is B because extinction occurs in classical conditioning when the CS (conditioned stimulus) no longer produces the CR (conditioned response).
