This Article contains errors.

In the Methods section under subheading ‘Experimental procedure’; in the section titled ‘Day 2: Reminder and Extinction’,

“Extinction followed and consisted of 11 nonreinforced presentations of the CS+ and CS− each in the no reminder group.”

should read:

“Extinction followed and consisted of 10 nonreinforced presentations of the CS+ and 11 CS− presentations in the no reminder group (the last trial was a CS-, not included in analysis).”

“Stimulus order was pseudorandomized and counterbalanced across participants”

should read:

“One pseudorandomized stimulus order was used, where cue colors were counterbalanced across participants.”

In the section titled ‘Day 3: Re-extinction recovery test and Reinstatement test’,

“During the recovery test, participants received 10 nonreinforced presentations of the CS+ and CS− each, in order to assess the extent to which conditioned defensive responses could be recovered. After 18 s, a reinstatement session commenced where participants were administered with 4 unsignalled shocks (ITI 10-12 s), and then presented with additional nonreinforced presentations of 10 CS+ and 10 CS−. Stimulus order was pseudorandomized and counterbalanced across participants.”
