Lauren Herrera · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  When new learning works in the opposite direction from the original learning, this leads to extinction, which means the weakening and eventual disappearance of the previously learned behavior. Shaping involves gradually teaching a new behavior through reinforcement, generalization is the tendency to respond to similar stimuli in the same way, and spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of an extinguished behavior after a period of time.
