Fig. (1). Context-dependent reinstatement of alcohol-seeking.

Fig. (1)

This schematic illustrates the use of distinct sensory features (floor texture, odors, distinctive visual features on the walls) used to create distinct training, extinction, and testing environments, or contexts. Training is conducted in Context A, and responding is extinguished in Context B. The reinstatement of responding can be tested in the the original training context (the ABA design) or in a new, novel context (the ABC design).
