Spontaneous recovery appears at the beginning of extinction sessions that are separated by rest periods. Eventually, with continued extinction sessions, it is most likely that the
a. level of spontaneous recovery will increase to the point that extinction is essentially reversed.
b. sessions will take less and less time to complete, and fewer and fewer responses will be emitted.
c. animal will continue to rest after being returned to the chamber, and very little activity will be observed there during the sessions.
d. period of spontaneous recovery will move from the beginning of the session to the middle and then to the latter portion of the session.
b. sessions will take less and less time to complete, and fewer and fewer responses will be emitted.
Answer feedback: The comparison of results from the first and second extinction sessions will reveal that the second session was shorter and included fewer responses. If these trends are projected over additional extinction sessions, the length of the session and the number of responses may be expected to continue to decrease.
