CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Extinction refers to the reduction in responding that occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus. Figure 8.4 Acquisition, Extinction, and Spontaneous Recovery. Acquisition: The CS and the US are repeatedly paired together and behaviour increases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: In classical conditioning, when a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly administered without the unconditioned stimulus following, the conditioned response will diminish. For example, with regards to Pavlov’s experiment, the tone would be played but the food would not arrive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extinction is the decrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented with the conditioned stimulus. When presented with the conditioned stimulus alone, the dog, cat, or other organism would show a weaker and weaker response, and finally no response.

Detailed explanation-4: -In delayed conditioning, the neutral stimulus is presented and continues while the unconditioned stimulus is offered. This type of conditioning produces the best results.

Detailed explanation-5: -In classical conditioning, repeated pairings of the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) eventually lead to acquisition. Once the association between the CS and UCS has been established, the response is said to have been acquired.
