What is spontaneous recovery?
When a behavior changes spontaneously
When a behavior reappears after having been diminished
When a behavior improves without intervention
When a behavior is forgotten
The correct answer is: When a behavior reappears after having been diminished
Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a previously extinguished behavior. This often happens after a period of rest following extinction training, where the behavior decreases in frequency or strength. Option A is incorrect because it only describes a general change in behavior without any specific cause. Option C is incorrect because there is no mention of improvement, just the reappearance of a behavior. Option D is incorrect because it refers to forgetting, which is unrelated to spontaneous recovery.
