Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extinction is the process by which a previously conditioned response gradually decreases in frequency and ultimately disappears, when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus (UCS). CR dissolution is not a widely used term in classical conditioning, motivation removal is not a process related to extinction, and UCS decline does not accurately describe the process of extinction.
