A process in which the CR is weakened when the CS is repeated without being followed by the US

Learning by watching how other behave

a type of learning in which a person learns about one stimulus, such as a smell or a sound. One form of ________________ learning is sensitization, where an individual's behavioral response increases after exposure to a strong or potentially threatening stimulus.

Another form of ________________ learning is habituation, where an individual's behavioral response to a non-threatening stimulus decreases after being exposed to it over a long time, or many times.

When a US no longer follows the CS and the CR becomes weakened this is called?

Extinction is one explanation. In psychology, extinction refers to the gradual weakening of a conditioned response that results in the behavior decreasing or disappearing. In other words, the conditioned behavior eventually stops.

Is a process in which the conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeated without the unconditioned stimulus?

Extinction is a process in which the conditioned response is weakened when the conditioned stimulus is repeated without the unconditioned stimulus. Spontaneous recovery is a process in which a previously extinguished conditioned response reemerges after the prescription of the conditioned stimulus.

What would happen if the UCS no longer followed the CS?

Usually, conditioning is faster if only a short time elapses between the presentation of the CS and the UCS. The reverse process—that is, unlearning—can occur also and is called extinction. If the CS is presented for a time without the UCS, the CR will eventually cease (be extinguished).

What will happen if the CS is presented many times in the absence of the US?

In respondent extinction, the CS occurs without the US and eventually the CS no longer elicits a CR. Backward conditioning is most likely to result in respondent conditioning.
