Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respondent extinction refers to the gradual disappearance of a learned response when the CS is presented repeatedly without the US. This means that the CS loses its ability to elicit the CR. Operant extinction refers to the gradual disappearance of a learned behavior when the behavior is no longer reinforced. Counterconditioning refers to the process of replacing an undesirable response to a stimulus with a more desirable one. Behavioral momentum refers to the persistence of a behavior in the face of disruption or distraction. None of these options are directly related to the loss of the CR due to the CS being presented without the US, making B the best choice.
