Document Summary
Repeated presentations of the cs without the us. Extinction (active) is not the same as forgetting (passive) Effects of extinction procedures: target response decreases when the response no longer results in reinforcement. How rapidly responding decreases and how long the response suppression lasts: produces an increase in response variability. The reappearance of the extinguished response is problematic for therapeutic applications designed to eliminate undesired behaviors. A great deal of translational research has been devoted to studying the circumstances under which extinguished behavior occurs again. The return of a response after a rest period from responding. A recovery of responding when the contextual cues that were present during extinction are changed. The recovery of conditioned behavior that occurs when the individual encounters the us again. Aversion will return even if your illness had nothing to do with eating this particular food. Learning about a cs gets transferred to other stimuli on the basis of the physical.
