Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Extinction in psychology refers to the fading and disappearance of behavior that was previously learned by association with another event. That means a conditioned response is weakened and the target behavior eventually stops and becomes extinct. This is usually accomplished by withdrawing the unconditioned stimulus.
