Design summary of Experiment 3
Group | Phase 1 (Context 1) | Phase 2 (Context 2) | Phase 3 (Context 2) | Test X (Context 1) |
---|---|---|---|---|
BB-Extinction | 4 AX-US | 108 X- | 24 A-US | X? |
Ctrl-Extinction | 4 AX-US | 108 X- | 24 B-US | X? |
BB-No Extinction | 4AX-US | - | 24 A-US | X? |
Ctrl-No Extinction | 4 AX-US | - | 24 B-US | X? |
OV-Extinction | 4 AX-US | 108 X- | - | X? |
Note: BB = backward blocking; Ctrl = control condition for backward blocking; OV = overshadowing control for backward blocking; Extinction = X is extinguished during Phase 2; No Extinction = no X exposure during Phase 2; US = footshock; “-“ = no presentation of the US. X = click train; A and B = high-frequency tone or white noise, counterbalanced. Numbers refer to the number of each trial type.
