Extinction memory in the crab Chasmagnathus: Recovery protocols and effects of multi-trial extinction training

A decline in the frequency or intensity of a conditioned behavior following the withdrawal of the reinforcement is called experimental extinction. However, the experimental manipulation necessary to trigger memory reconsolidation or extinction is to expose the animal to the conditioned stimulus in t...
