Group | Phase 1 in Context A | Phase 2 in Context A | Phase 3 in Context B | Test X in Context B |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ctrl-Spaced | 8 X→O (577.5) | 8 A (577.5) | 8 O→US (228) | CR |
Ctrl-Massed | 8 X→O (90) | 8 A (90) | 8 O→US (228) | Cr |
RI-Spaced | 8 X→O (577.5) | 8 A→O (577.5) | 8 O→US (228) | Cr |
RI-Massed | 8 X→O (90) | 8 A→O (90) | 8 O→US (228) | ? |
Note: Ctrl = Control, RI = Retroactive Interference, Spaced = relatively spaced ITIs (577.5 s), Massed = relatively massed ITIs (90 s), X = complex tone, A = clicks, O = white noise, US = footshock. The strength of the expected conditioned response is denoted by the size of the CR. The question mark denotes an uncertain outcome.
