Groups | Conditioning (context train) | Test (context test) |
---|---|---|
Pre-Acq | 36 US → 4 X-US | 4X |
Ctrl-Acq | - - - → 4 X-US | 4X |
Pre-OV | 36 US → 4 AX-US | 4X |
Ctrl-OV | - - - → 4 AX-US | 4X |
Note. Pre = US pretraining exposure, Ctrl = control, Acq = acquisition control, OV = overshadowing, X = target cue, A = overshadowing cue, US = footshock unconditioned stimulus, “-” = sequential pairing of stimuli, “- - -” = no treatment.
