Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a conditioned response (like salivation in Pavlov's dogs) after a period of no exposure to the conditioned stimulus (the sound) following an extinction phase. Extinction occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented multiple times without the unconditioned stimulus (food), leading to the disappearance of the conditioned response. After a rest period, the conditioned response can suddenly reappear when the conditioned stimulus is presented again, even though no further conditioning trials have been conducted. This phenomenon demonstrates that the learning is not unlearned but rather suppressed during extinction.
