Definition:
the gradual elimination of a behavior through repeated non-reinforcement.HGD,CH 2 p. 33 [] [] Extinction is the process by which groups of organisms (species) die out.

Examples:
eliminating undesirable behavior by ignoring it, the behavior is then extinguished. Some parents do this by expressing that a behavior is just part of a stage and that the child will outgrow it.
