Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a previously extinguished response after a rest period. In this scenario, Milo had stopped salivating at the sound of the bell but exhibited the response again after a night's rest. Option A (Counterconditioning) is a process of changing an undesired behavior by conditioning an individual to respond differently to a stimulus. Option B (Instinctive drift) occurs when trained animals revert to their innate behaviors. Option D (Stimulus discrimination) is the ability to differentiate between similar stimuli and respond differently to them.
