Effects of Multiple Contexts and Context Similarity on the Renewal of Extinguished Conditioned Behaviour in an ABA Design with Humans
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Balooch, Siavash Bandarian; Neumann, David L. – Learning and Motivation, 2011
The ABA renewal procedure involves pairing a conditional stimulus (CS) and an unconditional stimulus (US) in one context (A), presenting extinction trials of the CS alone in a second context (B), and nonreinforced test trials of the CS in the acquisition context (A). The renewal of extinguished conditioned behaviour is observed during test. The…

The Effects of Context Changes on the Reinstatement of Extinguished Conditioned Behavior in a Conditioned Suppression Task with Humans
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neumann, David L. – Learning and Motivation, 2008
Reinstatement refers to the return of previously extinguished conditioned responses to test trials of a conditional stimulus (CS) when presentations of the unconditional stimulus (US) alone are given following extinction. Four experiments were conducted to determine whether reinstatement could be found in a conditioned suppression task with humans…

The Resistance of Renewal to Instructions that Devalue the Role of Contextual Cues in a Conditioned Suppression Task with Humans
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neumann, David L. – Learning and Motivation, 2007
The renewal of extinguished conditioned behaviour appears to reflect context-dependent learning. The present research used a conditioned suppression task with humans to examine whether instructions concerning the context could influence renewal. Pairings of a conditional stimulus (CS) and unconditional stimulus (US) were made in one context,…

The Effects of Physical Context Changes and Multiple Extinction Contexts on Two Forms of Renewal in a Conditioned Suppression Task with Humans
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neumann, David L. – Learning and Motivation, 2006
Three experiments examined the effects of physical context changes and multiple extinction contexts on the renewal of conditioned suppression in humans. A conditioned suppression task used an undesirable event as the unconditional stimulus (US). One conditional stimulus (CS+) predicted the occurrence of the US and another (CS-) predicted US…
