A researcher conditions a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. This is then followed by food. After some time, the sound of the bell alone (that is, without food), no longer leads to salivation. What is this process called? Options: spontaneous recovery, extinction, acquisition, generalization

In John Watson’s famous study, Little Albert was conditioned to fear rats by associating them with an unpleasant loud noise. If Little Albert had then been repeatedly exposed to the white, but without the noise, his fear response would have...

To produce extinction in a classical conditioning experiment, an experimenter should: present the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus, present the neutral stimulus without the conditioned stimulus, pair the conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus, pair the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus.
