Extinction process whereby a learned connection between a stimulus and response is eroded so that the response is no longer reinforced. Stimulus generalization tendency of stimuli similar to a cs to evoke similar, conditioned responses. Halo effect people react to other, similar stimuli in much the same way they responded to the original stimulus. Stimulus discrimination when a ucs doesn"t follow a stimulus similar to a c; reactions weaken and will disappear sooner.
