Abstract: Respondent (Pavlovian) extinction involves the repeated presentation of a learned stimulus in the absence of an unlearned stimulus, leading to a reduction in learned responding. Extinction is not necessarily permanent. Preventing the return of conditioned responding is the focus of a great deal of translational research designed to facilitate exposure therapy and other behavioral interventions. Here, we introduce and define translational research on respondent extinction, describe different procedures that lead to the return of conditioned responding, consider theoretical accounts of respondent extinction, and identify contemporary applications and extensions.
