Describe two ways you could reinstate conditioned responding following extinction without retraining the subject.

A rat had been reinforced for lever press behaviors.After one day of extinction training,the rat was demonstrating very low levels of responding.When the rat was returned to the test cage the next day,there was a small recovery in the rate of responding.This increase is called

Sally was terribly afraid of cats before going into therapy.Over several trips to a psychologist's office,the psychologist was able to extinguish her fear of cats.However,when she returned home after the last session,a cat was waiting on her porch,and she panicked.This is likely due to the therapist forgetting about

Describe the various ways in which control of behavior by contextual cues is relevant to the behavioral effects of extinction.

In the first phase of an experiment,one group of rats is reinforced for every lever press.Another group of rats is reinforced for every 15th lever press.In the second phase,both groups receive continuous reinforcement.In later extinction trials,subjects that received continuous reinforcement in phase 1 decreased responding more quickly than those that were reinforced every 15th trial.These findings support

Which of the following associations is most likely impacted by extinction training?

According to frustration theory,

The theory that assumes that during intermittent reinforcement training,the memory of nonreward becomes a cue for performing the instrumental response is

Why can reinstatement be considered a special form of renewal?

The preponderance of evidence suggests that in extinction trials,

Describe evidence that identifies the development of inhibitory S-R associations in extinction.
