a) Acquisition is the ‘overall process’ during which an organism learns to associate two events. In relation to classical conditioning, during Acquisition the presentation of the CS and the UCS occur close together in time and always in the same sequence. One of the important factors in classical conditioning is the timing of the CS and UCS pairing. The end of the acquisition stage is said to occur when the CS alone produces the CR, here ‘conditioning’ is said to take place.
b) During Acquisition the association of two events (the CS and the UCS) is being acquired.
c) The association of two events (the CS and the UCS) is acquired through the CS and UCS being presented close together in time and always in the same sequence. It is acquired through the conditioning known to occur at the end of the Acquisition stage.
d) The relationship between timing and acquisition is linked with the timing of the CS and UCS pairing during classical conditioning.

a) The term extinction refers to the gradual decrease in the strength or rate of the CR that occurs when the UCS is no longer present. Extinction is said to have occurred when a CR no longer occurs following presentation of the CS.
b) Extinction is evident in classical conditioning when a CR no longer no longer occurs following the presentation of the CS.

a) The term spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a CR when the CS is presented, following a rest period (when no CS is presented) after the CR appears to have been extinguished. For example a participant in the eye-blink response might suddenly blink again to the sound of a tap alone, sometime after extinction was achieved.
b) Spontaneous Recovery is evident when a CR occurs when the CS is presented after a period of time, a rest period (when the CS is not presented)
