Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Spontaneous recovery occurs when a(n) ____
A
unconditioned stimulus (UCS) that has been removed is introduced once again
B
unconditioned response (UCR) that has been extinguished suddenly reappears
C
conditioned response (CR) that has been extinguished suddenly reappears
D
conditioned stimulus (CS) that has been removed is introduced once again
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Spontaneous Recovery. Spontaneous recovery refers to the sudden reappearance of a previously extinct conditioned response after the unconditioned stimulus has been removed for some time. This phenomenon can occur after these two types of conditioning have taken place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Spontaneous recovery is typically defined as the reemergence of conditioned responding to an extinguished conditioned stimulus (CS) with the passage of time since extinction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spontaneous recovery can be defined as the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or period of lessened response. If the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are no longer associated, extinction will occur very rapidly after a spontaneous recovery.

Detailed explanation-4: -In classical conditioning, when the conditioned response is extinguished, but reappears later, the reappearance of the response is called: Spontaneous recovery.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sometimes, in both classical and operant conditioning, spontaneous recovery occurs; that is, the response in question begins again even though there has been no reinforcement (for example, a rat presses the bar even though the action no longer produces a food pellet).
