Extinction
If you present CS (rat) without UCS (steel bar), the CR (startle) would be extinguised.
Spontaneous Recovery
CR response suddenly reappears after extinction, but then disappears again.
Second Learning
2 things
2. Extinction is extremely difficult after second learning.
Discrimination
Your learner can differentiate between stimuli.
Generalization
Your learner will produce the CR for a simlar but not identical stimulus.
