A recent article in the journal Cortex (Chalkia et al. 2020) has claimed a failure to verify the results reported in our 2010 study describing the phenomenon of reconsolidation updating using the retrieval-extinction protocol (Schiller et al., 2010). Since the journal did not grant us the right of reply, we publish our response here. We show, among other things, that a reanalysis of the raw data reproduces the results and contend that the conclusions are valid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
