Spontaneous Recovery
Spontaneous recovery is the re-emergence of a conditioned response that had previously been extinguished. This phenomenon occurs after a rest period during which the conditioned stimulus is not presented. For example, Pavlov observed that after his dogs underwent extinction training and stopped salivating to a bell, they would once again begin to salivate at the sound of the bell following a few hours of rest.

Spontaneous Recovery
Example of Classical Conditioning Processes: The Ice Cream Truck
For several months, a dog has learned to run to the kitchen and get excited whenever it hears the sound of a particular cabinet opening, because that is where its treats are stored. The owner then moves the treats to a different location and begins using the original cabinet only for storing dishes. What is the most likely outcome if the dog continues to hear the sound of the original cabinet opening but no longer receives a treat?

Example of Classical Conditioning Processes: The Ice Cream Truck
For several months, a cat was fed immediately after hearing the sound of a particular squeaky cabinet door opening. The cat learned to run to its food bowl as soon as it heard the squeak. The owner then moved the cat's food to a different, silent cabinet. For the next few weeks, the cat would hear the squeaky door open but receive no food, and it eventually stopped running to the bowl. After the owner returned from a two-week vacation, they accidentally opened the old squeaky cabinet, and the cat immediately darted to its food bowl. Which principle of learning does the cat's behavior upon the owner's return best demonstrate?
