Recovery from punishment
When the rate of a target behavior temporarily increases back to, or above, baseline levels, after a punishment procedure is discontinued.

When a behavior that was reduced or eliminated in one environment or context emerges in a new environment.
Resurgence
The reemergence of an extinguished behavior, when the reinforcement for an alternative replacement behavior is discontinued (extinction) or when reinforcement is thinned too quickly.
