Stimulus discrimination is the process of learning to respond only to a specific object or event and inhibit the response to all other stimuli. Stimulus generalization refers to the extension of a conditioned response from the original stimulus to similar stimuli. Inhibition refers to the suppression or stopping of a behavior or response. Extinction refers to the gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
