Spontaneous recovery can occur for responses learned via operant conditioning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a behavior or response that had previously been extinguished. This can happen for behaviors learned through operant conditioning, where a certain behavior is reinforced or punished to increase or decrease its likelihood of occurring. After the behavior has been extinguished through the removal of reinforcement, it may spontaneously reappear in the absence of any further training or reinforcement.
