Explanation
Extinction in psychology refers to the fading and disappearance of behavior that was previously learned by association with another event.
In classical conditioning theory, the gradual disappearance or elimination of the conditioned response is known as 'extinction' as:
if the conditioned stimulus is presented alone without an unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response will gradually decrease or cease.
if only a conditioned stimulus is being presented repeatedly without associating with the unconditioned one,
the desired behavior faded and stopped to occur.
For eg: In Pavlov's experiment, a dog was conditioned to salivate to the sound of a bell. When the bell was repeatedly presented without the presentation of food, the salivation response eventually became extinct.
