When a reinforcer is re-introduced to an organism's environment, the behavior that preceded it typically returns in a shorter time than it took to learn it in the first place. This phenomenon is related to the concept of spontaneous recovery and the idea that once a behavior has been learned and then extinguished, re-exposure to the reinforcement can lead to a quicker re-emergence of that behavior.
