Reconditioning When a CR that has been extinguished can be reconditioned by presenting further

reinforced trials. Reconditioning usually requires fewer trials than the original conditioning.
EXAMPLE: After Pavlov extinguished his dog's behavior of salivating at the sound of a bell. It took just
two pairings with the CS (bell) to reignite the CR (salivation).
14. Imagine and write a scenario or example where reconditioning takes place (It can be a continuation from
your answer before)

Final answer:

Reconditioning is a process that restores a conditioned response that has been extinguished.


Step-by-step explanation:

Reconditioning is a process in which a conditioned response (CR) that has been extinguished is restored by presenting reinforced trials. This process usually requires fewer trials than the initial conditioning. For example, let's say a student has conditioned a rat to press a lever for a food reward. After the behavior is extinguished, the student reintroduces the reward contingency, and it only takes a few trials for the rat to start pressing the lever again.
