This is a good point. It might be useful to include a section on clinical applications of extinction where the parallels to exposure therapy are outlined. Melissza (talk) 12:07, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree, it would make for a more comprehensive article. Maybe we could add a section on this? Ce1734 (talk) 21:47, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

merge with operant conditioning
There is substantial information on extinction in operant conditioning page. The material could be reorganized or merged. Kpmiyapuram 14:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Why not expand the article before merging, see if there's anything that might merit its own page? Correct me if i'm wrong, but extinction does apply in classical conditioning, right?--Janarius 01:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the extinction can be a separate article on its own merit and hence i have changed the tag. Kpmiyapuram 14:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC) We could probably use a little more information on classical conditioning. In addition, there are still many statements that are not referenced in the article.

Only 1 reference?
I think we can do better. --1000Faces (talk) 07:39, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. For example, under theories, it might be helpful to provide references for the specific models referred to, e.g.:
 * Rescorla, R. A., & Wagner, A. R. (1972). A theory of Pavlovian conditioning: variations in the effectiveness of reinforcement and nonreinforcement. In A. H. Black & W. F. Prokasy (Eds.), Classical conditioning II: Current research and theory (pp. 64-99). New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts.
 * Pearce, J. M., & Hall, G. (1980). A model for Pavlovian learning: variations in the effectiveness of conditioned but not of unconditioned stimuli. Psychological Review, 87(6), 532-552.
 * Konorski, J. (1967). Integrative activity of the brain. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. Melissza (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

we can do better
This is a large field that has occupied the work of many great scientists for almost 100 years. There needs to be much broader and correct attribution of ideas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scholar38 (talk • contribs) 22:49, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

There is only one entry in successful extinction procedures? No mention of ABA either? We can definitely expand in this area.Spantalian76 (talk) 15:30, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
