What is extinction? How does it differ from forgetting?
What will be an ideal response?
In classical conditioning, extinction occurs when the CS and US are no longer paired and the response to the CS is weakened. Extinction in operant conditioning refers to the gradual weakening and disappearance of a response tendency because the response is no longer followed by a reinforcer.
The occurrence of spontaneous recovery (when an extinguished response reappears after a period of non-pairing) suggests that the response is still there, just not active.
