How does an investigator produce extinction in classical conditioning?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, extinction occurs when the CS is presented without the UCS, which means that the conditioned response eventually stops occurring. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Punishing all responses (choice A) may decrease the occurrence of the response but does not lead to extinction. Presenting the UCS without the UCR (choice C) does not relate to extinction and may actually strengthen the association between the UCS and the CS. Presenting the UCS without the CS (choice D) can lead to overshadowing, where the presence of a more salient stimulus (the UCS) interferes with the conditioning of a less salient stimulus (the CS), but again, this does not lead to extinction.
