Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presenting cues from the extinction trials would enable the individual to retrieve the memory of the original learning and thereby restore the level of performance seen during extinction. Testing several days after the extinction trials may lead to decay of memory and reduced performance. Presenting cues from the conditioning trials may lead to the retrieval of the original learning and lead to a subsequent increase in conditioned responses, rather than restoration of the level seen during extinction. Testing in a different context may result in context-dependent memory effects, which may further impair performance.
