What does the extinction process in classical conditioning involve (i.e.,
what happens during extinction in classical conditioning)? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔In classical conditioning, extinction occurs when the conditioned
stimulus is applied repeatedly without being paired with the unconditioned
stimulus. Over time, the learned behavior occurs less often and eventually
stops altogether, and conditioned stimulus returns to neural.
How do exposure therapies work? How do they relate to classical
