Table 1.
Designs of experiments that demonstrated ABA renewal after extinction (Todd, 2013) and punishment (Bouton & Schepers, 2015) when each context’s association with reinforcement and nonreinforcement or punishment was controlled.
Phase | ||
---|---|---|
Acquisition | Retroactive interference treatment | Test |
(Extinction) | ||
A: R1-food | A: R2-- | A: R1, R2 |
B: R2-food | B: R1-- | B: R1, R2 |
(Punishment) | ||
A: R1-food | A: R2-food + shock | A: R1, R2 |
B: R2-food | B: R1-food + shock | B: R1, R2 |
Note. A and B refer to contexts; -- refers to extinction. Both experimental designs were within-subject designs; thus, every subject received the treatments shown in each phase in an intermixed fashion. Bold indicates the response with the higher level during the test.
