Excitatory conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned response. This is represented by S-S pairing. Extinction involves the gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus. This is represented by S-R pairing, as the conditioned response is linked to the conditioned stimulus rather than the unconditioned stimulus.
