CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spontaneous recovery is a phenomenon of learning and memory that was first named and described by Ivan Pavlov in his studies of classical (Pavlovian) conditioning. In that context, it refers to the re-emergence of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a delay.

Detailed explanation-2: -(4) Spontaneous recovery can only appear once after extinction, whereas reminder trials-applied with or without rest periods-allow maintaining the response level throughout several extinction phases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extinct Behavior May Come Back After Extinction Spontaneous recovery is the sudden return of the previously extinct behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -extinction: decrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the conditioned stimulus. habituation: when we learn not to respond to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly without change. spontaneous recovery: return of a previously extinguished conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-5: -Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus returns after a period of absence.
