Two studies using an ABA design examined the Extinction and renewal of conditioned barpress suppression.

Martin-Ordas, Gema; Atance, Cristina M.; Louw, Alyssa – Learning and Motivation, 2012

Drawing on Tulving's definition of episodic and semantic…

In earlier studies with rats, the effectiveness of the auditory element of a tone--light discriminative stimulus was enhanced when the conditioned incentive value of the compound was negative rather than positive. The present experiment systematically replicated these results in pigeons trained to press a treadle in the presence of a tone--light…
