Document Summary
Fundamentals of learning class 43 not as ambiguous because it only signifies one thing (shock). Therefore, such a cs is not as susceptible to contextual control. Implications of renewal effects: extinction results in learning a new meaning about the cs, which is specific to the extinction context, following extinction, contextual cues are utilized to retrieve the appropriate meaning of the cs. Therefore, contexts may function as occasions-setters for conditioned behavior. Reinstatement refers to the recovery of conditioned behavior that occurs when the individual encounters the us again. Ex: you get sick when you eat fish so you stay away from it. One day you decide to have some fish and you are not sick so you think you overcame the aversion. Then, you have some fish again and are sick (not due to the fish, you just have the flu) you will associate the fish to the illness and go back to having a fish aversion.
