Detailed explanation-1: -d) Extinction is the process by which stimuli that are different from the conditioned stimulus fail to cause the same conditioned response.
Detailed explanation-2: -Conditioned response (CR): An acquired or learned response to a conditioned stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation. It is important to note that the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus.
Detailed explanation-4: -An unconditioned stimulus (UCS), in classical conditioning, is the stimulus that elicits a response without conditioning or learning having to take place. Example: In the cat example in Key Term 3, food is the unconditioned stimulus; it naturally causes the cat to salivate.
