When a CS is repeatedly presented by itself, extinction will occur. This means that the conditioned response (CR) that was previously learned with the CS will gradually diminish and eventually disappear as the CS no longer predicts the unconditioned stimulus (UCS). Generalization refers to responding to stimuli that are similar to the CS, discrimination refers to learning to respond differently to different stimuli, and stimulus substitution is not a well-established concept in classical conditioning.
