Acquisition and Extinction of a Salivary Response

Description
A neutral stimulus (e.g., a bell) that is consistently followed by an unconditioned stimulus for salivation (e.g., food) will become a conditioned stimulus for salivation (left side of graph). But when this conditioned stimulus is then repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned salivary response will weaken and eventually disappear; it has been extinguished.
