Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of an extinguished response after a period of rest. This indicates that the association between the CS and the CR is still intact, even though the CS no longer elicits the CR. If the association was completely broken, there would be no response to the CS even after a period of rest. Thus, spontaneous recovery provides evidence that the association is still intact.
