Classical Conditioning (Pavlov)
Asked 3 weeks ago · Viewed 1,447 times
Under Ivan Pavlov's Classical Conditioning Theory, 'Extinction' is defined as a psychological process where repeatedly presenting the Conditioned Stimulus (CS) without pairing it with the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) or reinforcement causes the Conditioned Response (CR) to gradually weaken and eventually disappear. Regarding its true psychological implications and scientific application in modifying students' undesirable behaviors, refining habits, and managing responsibilities in classroom teaching, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically valid?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Ivan Pavlov's Classical Conditioning theory, 'Extinction' is the process wherein repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus (like a bell) without the unconditioned stimulus (like food) causes the conditioned response (salivation) to gradually weaken and vanish.
Classroom Application
When applied to classroom teaching and child psychology:
- If a student engages in inappropriate behavior to gain attention, and the teacher deliberately withholds any reinforcement or response, the behavior will gradually extinguish.
- Thus, option (b) represents the most scientifically valid classroom application of extinction.

Under Ivan Pavlov's Classical Conditioning Theory, a crucial central concept—'Extinction and Spontaneous Recovery'—is defined as the process where repeated presentation of the Conditioned Stimulus (CS) alone, without the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), causes the Conditioned Response (CR) to gradually weaken and cease (Extinction), but after a time interval, the same response reappears suddenly without new training (Spontaneous Recovery).
