Responses conditioned to fear-relevant stimuli survive extinction of the expectancy of the UCS
Behavioral and Brain Sciences
(1995)
Abstract
Davey suggests that increased resistance to extinction of CRs conditioned to fear-relevant stimuli may be due to more persistent expectancies of the UCS following these stimuli. However, this viewpoint is contradicted by existing empirical evidence that fear-relevant CRs survive an extinction trials series producing extinction of expectancies whereas CRs conditioned to non-fear-relevant CSs do not.
