Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study investigates how the scheduling of extinction trials affects fear retention in male rats using a conditioned fear paradigm. Researchers compared groups receiving 120 trials either massed in one day, spread over two days, or spaced across four days, measuring outcomes via fear-potentiated startle. The results showed minimal differences in extinction retention between the groups, though increased fear was noted at the start of the second day for the two-day group.
