Final answer:
To extinguish the puppy's response of crying and barking to be let into the house, you would use the process of extinction. This involves presenting the crying and barking without allowing the puppy inside, which eventually leads to the puppy stopping this behavior and learning new, desired behavior.
Step-by-step explanation:
To extinguish the puppy's response of crying and barking to be let into the house, you would use the process of extinction. Extinction involves presenting the conditioned stimulus (in this case, the crying and barking) without the unconditioned stimulus (being let into the house). When the puppy realizes that crying and barking no longer leads to the desired outcome, it will eventually stop exhibiting that behavior.
For example, if the puppy learns that crying and barking are not effective in getting it inside, and instead learns that sitting quietly is rewarded with entry, it will start to exhibit the desired behavior instead.
Extinction is an essential learning process that helps break unwanted responses and establish new behaviors.
