Extinction+(Classical+Conditioning)

toc = Definition: = In classical conditioning, the weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response as a result of repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus. Gen Psych Chapter 5, pp. 139 -140

= Examples: = In Pavlov's dogs, when the bell is rung repeatedly and there is no food paired with the sound, the dogs will stop drooling at the sound of the bell.
