Explanation:

Analyze the statement regarding extinction

The statement claims that once a conditioned behavior is extinguished, it can no longer appear again.

Evaluate the concept of spontaneous recovery

In classical and operant conditioning, extinction is not permanent erasure. After a rest period, an extinguished conditioned response can suddenly reappear when the conditioned stimulus is presented again, a phenomenon known as spontaneous recovery.

Determine the truth value

Because the behavior can reappear through spontaneous recovery, the statement is false.
