Overview of the experimental design. (A) The experiment took place on two consecutive days and included an acquisition session (day one), an extinction session (day one), a first re-extinction session to test for spontaneous recovery, and a second re-extinction session to test for recovery following reinstatement (day two). The conditioned stimuli (CS) consisted of two images of snakes obtained from the freely available International Affective Picture System (IAPS) database (https://csea.phhp.ufl.edu/media/iapsmessage.html). An illustration of these images are displayed in the figure. (B) During the 1-back (Low-Load) working memory group participants were instructed to press a button when the current digit had appeared one positions back in the sequence. For the 2-back (High-Load) working memory group participants were instructed to press a button when the current digit had appeared one positions back in the sequence.
