This is an example of extinction.
- Extinction, as used in psychology, is the gradual weakening of a conditioned response, which causes the behavior to decrease or stop.
- In other words, the learned behavior eventually comes to an end.
- For instance, if you taught your dog how to shake hands. The trick lost some of its appeal over time. After a while, you stop reinforcing the behavior and cease asking your dog to shake. After a while, your dog stops acting out because the response eventually goes extinct.
- In this type of classical conditioning, when a conditioned stimulus is presented alone without providing an unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response will eventually cease.
- Similarly, the dog ceased to greet Molly as it no longer felt motivated to greet her.
- Therefore, this is an example of extinction.
