Definitions:

Extinction

CS (Conditioned Stimulus)

An initially neutral stimulus that, after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.

UCS (Unconditioned Stimulus)

An unconditioned stimulus is something that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any learning needed (e.g., food causing salivation in dogs).

Classical Conditioning

A conditioning process where two stimuli are systematically paired; the response, at first provoked by the second stimulus, is gradually elicited by the first stimulus alone.
