| # | Definition | Sets |
| 1 | disappearance of a species from all parts of its geographical range | 23 sets |
| 2 | the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (us) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (cs); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced. | 19 sets |
| 3 | the disappearance of a species when the last of its members dies | 18 sets |
| 4 | no longer in existence | 17 sets |
| 5 | a conditioning process in which the reinforcer is removed and a conditioned response becomes independent of the conditioned stimulus | 15 sets |
| 6 | in classical conditioning, the process of eliminating the previously acquired association of the conditioned stimulus and conditioned response | 11 sets |
| 7 | the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus does not follow a conditioned stimulus; occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced | 11 sets |
| 8 | the death of every member of a species | 9 sets |
| 9 | the gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus | 8 sets |
| 10 | the irreversible disappearance of a population or a species | 8 sets |
| 11 | the complete elimination of a species from the earth | 8 sets |
| 12 | the dying out of a species | 7 sets |
| 13 | the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (us) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (cs); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced. (myers psychology 8e p. 319) | 7 sets |
| 14 | the disappearance of all members of a species from earth | 7 sets |
| 15 | the gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response tendency. | 6 sets |
| 16 | diminishing of a conditioned response | 6 sets |
| 17 | when all the members of a species die out | 6 sets |
| 18 | the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (ucs) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (cs); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced | 6 sets |
| 19 | the complete elimination of a species from the earth. | 6 sets |
| 20 | the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (us) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (cs); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced | 6 sets |
