2. discrimination-
3. aversion control-
4. escape conditioning-
5. avoidance conditioning-
6. social learning-
7. learned helplessness-
8. modeling-
9. token economy-

Explanation:

1. Extinction: In psychology, it refers to the decrease or disappearance of a learned response when the reinforcement is removed.
2. Discrimination: The ability to differentiate between similar stimuli and respond only to certain ones.
3. Aversion control: Using an aversive (unpleasant) stimulus to reduce or eliminate an unwanted behavior.
4. Escape conditioning: A type of learning where an organism learns to perform a response to end an aversive stimulus.
5. Avoidance conditioning: Learning to perform a response to prevent an aversive stimulus from occurring.
6. Social Learning: Learning by observing others' behaviors and the consequences of those behaviors.
7. Learned helplessness: A state where an organism believes it has no control over a situation and gives up trying to change it, after repeated exposure to inescapable aversive stimuli.
8. Modeling: Observing and imitating the behavior of others.
9. Token economy: A system in which tokens (secondary reinforcers) are given for desired behaviors and can be exchanged for rewards.
