Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spontaneous recovery and external disinhibition are phenomena that can occur during the extinction process and are observed in both classical and operant conditioning. Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of the extinguished response after a rest period. External disinhibition occurs when the inhibitory effects of an extinguished stimulus are removed, leading to the recovery of a response.
