too much time on my hands
among the phenomena that pavlov observed was the partial recovery of a classically conditioned response after it had been extinguished by withholding the unconditioned stimulus. this recovery happened in the absence of any further unconditioned stimulation. pavlov referred to this phenomenon as spontaneous recovery. although spontaneous recovery increases with time following the extinction procedure, such conditioned responses do not generally return to full strength. moreover, with repeated recovery/extinction cycles, the conditioned response tends to be less intense with each period of recovery. on the other hand, reconditioning by pairing the same conditioned and unconditioned stimuli usually occurs much faster than the original conditioning.
