False.
Even after a conditioned behavior seems extinguished, it can reappear through a process known as spontaneous recovery. This is when the conditioned response (CR) can suddenly reoccur after a period of no exposure to the conditioned stimulus (CS) following extinction. However, typically, this reoccurrence is usually temporary and less intense than the original conditioned response.
