Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three processes (extinction, spontaneous recovery, and generalization) occur in both operant conditioning and classical conditioning. Extinction refers to the gradual disappearance of a learned response when a conditioned stimulus (in classical conditioning) or reinforcing consequence (in operant conditioning) is no longer present. Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a previously extinguished response after a period of time. Generalization is the tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus (in classical conditioning) or the original discriminative stimulus (in operant conditioning).
