Dominique had a car accident while driving over a bridge and thereafter developed an intense phobia of driving over bridges. in an effort to cure dominique's phobia, a psychologist gradually motivated him to drive over bridges. after many sessions of having nonthreatening experiences while driving over bridges, dominique's phobia was cured. this is an example of .(a) habituation(b) stimulus generalization(c) extinction(d) backward conditioning

The correct answer is C. Extinction

Explanation:

In psychology, extinction occurs when a behavior or response stops occurring because the stimulus that leads to the response is no longer presented and this is reinforced multiple times. In the case of Dominique, extinction occurs as the experience of having an accident while driving over a bridge (stimulus) caused in Dominique extreme anxiety, fear, and stress (response). However, as the stimulus disappears (Dominiques has no accidents next time he drives over a bridge) the response of phobia also disappears, which means the response stopped occurring because the stimulus (car accident) disappears and this was reinforced multiple times.
