Question

You train your dog, milo, to salivate at the sound of a bell. then you ring the bell every five minutes and don't follow the ringing with food for milo. he salivates less and less and finally stops salivating at all when the bell rings. but the next morning, when you ring the bell, milo salivates! what term is used to explain the reappearance of this response?

Answer 1

The term used to explain the reappearance of the said response is Classical Conditioning by Ivan Pavlov, one of the believers of Behaviorism in Psychology. Classical conditioning rests on the belief that unconditioned stimulus will be repeatedly exposed to a neutral stimulus will create a conditioned stimulus.

Answer 2

Hi!

The answer to your question would be that your dog went through a "spontaneous recovery".

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand why this is the answer, we first need to know what spontaneous recovery means. The term "spontaneous recovery" refers to the re-emergence of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a delay. In this case, we can see that Milo was trainned to stop salivating with the sound of the bell. The conditioned response here would be Milo not salivating, and the re-emergene of the previously extinguished condition would be him salivating again the next morning.
