Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spontaneous recovery refers to the temporary reappearance of an extinguished response, typically after a rest period. Tokens are a type of conditioned reinforcer, not associated with extinction. Stimulus generalization refers to the tendency for a response to occur in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the original discriminative stimulus. Satiation refers to a decrease in motivation to engage in a behavior due to having received too many reinforcements or rewards.
