Extinction is believed to be a form of _____________
A) learning
B) forgetting
C) operant conditioning
D) generalization
Answer: A
Rationale: The fact that extinguished responses can be spontaneously recovered suggests that extinction does not result in "forgetting." Rather, the opposite seems to be occurring—namely, extinction involves learning something new. In classical conditioning for example, extinction occurs when the subject learns that the CS no longer predicts the US.
