47 mark for review
in classical conditioning, repeated presentations of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus lead to
a acquisition
b extinction
c backward conditioning
d stimulus generalization

Explanation:

• Acquisition is the initial learning of the conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with the unconditioned stimulus (US).
• Extinction occurs when the CS is repeatedly presented without the US, causing the conditioned response to weaken or disappear.
• Backward conditioning is a conditioning procedure where the US is presented before the CS.
• Stimulus generalization is when a response to a CS is triggered by similar stimuli.

Answer:

B. extinction
