In classical conditioning, extinction happens when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is presented multiple times without being followed by the unconditioned stimulus (US), leading to a decrease in the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, extinction occurs when a behavior that was previously reinforced no longer receives reinforcement, leading to a decrease in the frequency of that behavior.

Both Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning Involve Extinction
