Marcia and John were married for eleven years before John passed away. Following his death, Marcia left her home and city because everything reminded her of John. Many years later, Marcia happened to meet a man, her new colleague, who smelled of the cologne that John always wore. Even after so many years, Marcia was drawn to this man because he reminded her of John. In this scenario, Marcia’s reawakened feelings are an example of _____ in classical conditioning.

Respuesta :

Answer:

spontaneous recovery

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of the conditioned response after a rest period or a decreased response period. If the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are no longer associated, extinction will occur very quickly after spontaneous recovery. This is what is happening to Marcia, where after a period of rest she was attracted to another man because of the Jhon-like scent she had not felt in a while.

Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a natural stimulus.
