Extinction of Conditioned Behavior
• Effects of Extinction• Extinction and Original Learning• Paradoxical Effects in Extinction
Effects of Extinction
Extinction involves omitting the US or reinforcerCS alone, no US R alone, no outcome
Two main effects of extinction procedures on behavior responding decreases response variability increases
Extinction and Original Learning
• Spontaneous Recovery• Rapid Reacquisition• Renewal• Reinstatement
Spontaneous Recovery

CS1 – noth 2 weeks
Longer wait after extinction, more spontaneous recovery
Spontaneous Recovery
Shows importance of passage of time
Renewal
Context A
Pairings Extinction CS Test
Context AContext B
A return to the context of acquisition after extinction of the CRin a different context causes CR recovery (ABA renewal)
No Extinction
Context A
Renewal
Mechanisms• Subjects turn to the context to disambiguate the meaning
of the CS– CS->US in acquisition (A) – CS->no US in extinction (B)
• Inhibitory association is specific to Context B?– A change in context after extinction of the CR causes CR recovery
(ABA renewal)– ABC causes renewal, which suggests a return to Context A is not
necessary– AAB renewal– ABC renewal is normally weaker than ABA renewal, so a return
to the context of acquisition may play some role
Reinstatement

Context A
A return of contextual excitation reinstates the extinguished CR
