Understanding Extinction
Extinction occurs when conditioned stimuli no longer predict unconditioned stimuli, leading to a cessation of the conditioned response.

Using classical conditioning, name the unconditioned stimulus in the scenario where Pat feels fear every time she sees snow after experiencing a car accident on a snowy road.
Keeping with the previous discussion, when Pavlov stopped giving the food and there was only the bell, the conditioning eventually stopped, and the dogs stopped salivating when they listened to the bell. So, in time, when a fear response occurs and I keep changing my state to one of calm using my breath, my body should stop reacting and the fear conditioning should stop, right?
