pleaplease check my answer thanks so much
Which of the following best describes when extinction occurs
A When a CS is repeatedly presented and periodically followed by a US
B When a CS is repeatedly presented without the presention of a US
C CS and US are presented together
D CS is repeatedly overshadowed
This question doesn'tmake sense to me
I have learend that Extinction is a process by which a particular behavior decreases or disappears se check this for me thanks
The question is asking when extinction is most likely to occur.
CS means conditioned stimulus.
US means unconditioned stimulus.
My best guess is that the answer is B.
B definitely is the answer.
From my introductory psychology notes at http://www.members.cox.net/dagershaw/index.html
Extinction is the reduction of the CR, when reinforcement (US) is not given for extended period.
Your topic seems to be generally "conditioning" rather than "dog behavior." You might want to explore the notes on learning on my site for future questions.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
Based on your explanation, it seems like you are asking for help in determining the correct answer to the question about extinction. The correct answer would be B: When a CS (conditioned stimulus) is repeatedly presented without the presentation of a US (unconditioned stimulus).
To understand why B is the correct answer, we need to have some background knowledge about classical conditioning. In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus (US) naturally triggers an unconditioned response (UR), while a conditioned stimulus (CS) initially has no response associated with it. However, through repeated pairing of the CS with the US, the CS can come to trigger a conditioned response (CR).
Extinction occurs when the CS is repeatedly presented without the US. This leads to the gradual disappearance or decrease in the conditioned response. In other words, the association between the CS and the CR weakens over time because the CS no longer predicts the occurrence of the US.
To check your answer, you could review the definitions and explanations of extinction in your study materials or textbooks. Additionally, seeking clarification from your teacher or classmates may also help to ensure that your understanding of the concept is accurate.
