Define spontaneous recovery

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

☛Spontaneous Recovery Examples :-

The sound of a tone was repeatedly paired with the presentation of food. ... After the response has been conditioned, you stop presenting food after ringing the bell. Over time, the response becomes extinguished, and your dog stops responding to the sound.
