Design of Experiment 3
| Group | Phase 1, 3 Days | Phase 2, 3 Days | Phase 3, extinction | Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Same–Ext A | (12A+/3AX+ )1 | (12B+/3BX+ )1 | (400 A− )1 | X1 |
| Same–Ext B | (12A+/3AX+ )1 | (12B+/3BX+ )1 | (400 B− )1 | X1 |
| Same–No Ext | (12A+/3AX+ )1 | (12B+/3BX+ )1 | (Context)1 | X1 |
| Different–Ext A | (12A+/3AX+ )1 | (12B+/3BX+ )1 | (400 A− )2 | X2 |
| Different–Ext B | (12A+/3AX+ )1 | (12B+/3BX+ )1 | (400 B− )2 | X2 |
| Different–No Ext | (12A+/3AX+ )1 | (12B+/3BX+ )1 | (Context)2 | X2 |
Note. A and B = competing stimuli; X = target cue; + = footshock; Same = trained and tested in the same context; Different = trained in Context 1 and tested in Context 2; Ext = extinction. Numbers next to the stimuli indicate the total number of trials in that phase. Subscripts indicate different contexts. Slashes indicate interspersed trials.
