CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of this association, the previously neutral stimulus comes to elicit the same response (the conditioned response, or CR). Extinction occurs when the CS is repeatedly presented without the US, and the CR eventually disappears, although it may reappear later in a process known as spontaneous recovery.

Detailed explanation-2: -a form of behavior therapy in which the client is conditioned to replace undesirable responses with desirable responses. See also aversion therapy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of learning a conditioned response is called acquisition. Usually, conditioning is faster if only a short time elapses between the presentation of the CS and the UCS. The reverse process-that is, unlearning-can occur also and is called extinction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reconditioning, in classical conditioning, refers to the repairing of the CS and the UCS after extinction has taken place. During reconditioning, an organism learns more quickly than it did the first time that the CS predicts the UCS. ( see Conditioned Responses Over Time: Extinction and Spontaneous Recovery)

Detailed explanation-5: -Spontaneous recovery can be defined as the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response. If the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are no longer associated, extinction will occur very rapidly after a spontaneous recovery.
