Key Points
- Unhealthy behavior is a major cause of human disease and promoting behavior change is a goal of preventive medicine.
- Sustaining behavior change can be challenging.
- Behavior change can be studied through operant conditioning and classical conditioning methods.
- Extinction is a form of retroactive inhibition where new learning replaces old learning.
- Resurgence, where previously extinguished behavior returns, is a laboratory model of relapse.
- Context plays a crucial role in behavior change.
- Punishment alone may not be enough to eliminate unwanted behaviors.
- Fear memories require protein synthesis in the amygdala for reconsolidation after retrieval.

Unhealthy behavior is a major cause of human disease, and promoting behavior change is a key goal of preventive medicine. However, sustaining behavior change can be challenging. Research from the learning and behavior laboratory suggests that methods used to create behavior change often inhibit the
Behavior change can be studied through operant conditioning and classical conditioning methods. In operant conditioning, organisms learn to perform behaviors to obtain rewards or avoid punishments. In classical conditioning, organisms learn to associate signals with upcoming rewards or punishments. Extinction is a
Extinction can be seen as a form of retroactive inhibition where new learning replaces old learning. Learning something new about a stimulus does not erase earlier learning, but rather involves inhibition that is sensitive to context change. Lapses and relapses are common in
Behavior change is difficult to sustain because other forms of behavioral inhibition, such as extinction, do not erase or unlearn the behavior. Resurgence, where a previously extinguished behavior returns when a replacement behavior is also extinguished, is a laboratory model of
Operant behaviors are context-dependent, meaning that changing the context after learning weakens the behavior regardless of reinforcement schedule or training. This is unlike Pavlovian responses, which are not weakened by changing the context. This suggests that healthy behaviors learned in one
There is evidence that DCS can facilitate operant extinction learning, but attempts to produce this effect have been unsuccessful. The drug may be more effective in Pavlovian extinction. Another possibility for promoting behavior change is reconsolidation, where a memory
Behavior change is difficult to sustain due to factors such as context, ambiguity, and unlearning. These factors contribute to relapse after behavioral extinction. The role of conditioned contextual stimuli in reinstating extinguished fear and the associative value of the context in the
Behavior change is difficult to sustain due to various factors such as punishment, contextual cues, and the process of extinction. Studies have shown that instrumental behavior can be renewed after punishment, indicating that punishment alone may not be enough to eliminate unwanted behaviors. Contextual
This summary highlights key points from the original text. The text includes various studies related to behavior change and relapse prevention. One study found that a retrieval cue for extinction can attenuate response recovery caused by a return to the conditioning context. Another study examined
Various studies have explored the mechanisms of fear extinction, renewal, and reacquisition in different contexts. The studies have found that fear memories require protein synthesis in the amygdala for reconsolidation after retrieval. Additionally, the mental reinstatement of
Behavior change is difficult to sustain due to several factors. Extinction and inhibition of voluntary behavior play a role in relapse. Resurgence of previously extinguished behavior is common, and the context in which behavior change occurs is important. The general context-depend
Behavior change is difficult to sustain due to various factors, including context effects, fear reinstatement, rapid reacquisition, and spontaneous recovery. Context plays a crucial role in conditioning, extinction, and reinstatement of behavior. Fear can be reinstated even
This text excerpt consists of a list of references to various studies on behavior change and relapse in animals. The studies mentioned cover topics such as overeating, alcohol seeking, drug abuse, and instrumental behavior. The studies explore concepts like context-induced relapse
Several studies have been conducted to explore the difficulty of sustaining behavior change. These studies have examined the effects of retrieval cues for extinction, the role of context and retrieval cues on alcohol cue reactivity, the mental reinstatement of context and the return of fear
