Spontaneous recovery is a phenomenon of learning and memory first identified and named by Ivan Pavlov in his studies of classical conditioning, referring to the reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a period of time has passed without further exposure to the conditioning procedure. The effect can be observed across a range of contexts, and researchers have also taken particular interest in a parallel form of it involving the apparent recovery of memories that had seemingly been forgotten.
