Delayed extinction fails to reduce skin conductance reactivity to fear‐conditioned stimuli

Abstract: A brief 10-min time delay between an initial and subsequent exposure to extinction trials has been found to impair memory reconsolidation in fear-conditioned rodents and humans, providing a potential means to reduce fearfulness in anxiety disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study used videos of biologically prepared, conditioned stimuli (tarantulas) to test the efficacy of delayed extinction in blocking reconsolidation of conditioned fear in healthy young adults. Strong differential… Show more

“…In these studies, PRE did not prevent return of fear, which led to the hypothesis that the nature of the CS would explain the divergence of results reported (and that PRE was able to prevent return of fear only when CSs were fear-irrelevant) (Fricchione et al, 2016;Kindt & Soeter, 2013;Soeter & Kindt, 2011).…”

“…Given the potential for developing a behavioral procedure that prevents the return of fear, several laboratories have attempted to replicate and extend these findings, with mixed results. In the case of studies with human participants, whereas some laboratories were able to demonstrate diminished fear responses after PRE (Agren, Engman, et al, 2012;Asthana et al, 2015;Bjorkstrand et al, 2015;Johnson & Casey, 2015;Liu et al, 2014;Oyarzún et al, 2012;Schiller, Kanen, LeDoux, Monfils, & Phelps, 2013;Schiller et al, 2010;Thompson & Lipp, 2017), there are reports of failure in producing these effects (Fricchione et al, 2016;Golkar, Bellander, Olsson, & Öhman, 2012;Kindt & Soeter, 2013;Klucken et al, 2016;Meir Drexler et al, 2014;Soeter & Kindt, 2011). These discrepancies across studies show that much work is needed to fully understand the variables and specific parameters involved in the 2 Like the term extinction, spontaneous recovery, renewal and reinstatement are terms that can either refer to procedures (for example, the presentation of the CS in a context different from where extinction took place, as in renewal) or processes (elicitation of conditioned responses after one of these procedures).…”
