Abstract

In a therapeutic context, extinguishing contextual threat memories can be difficult, as direct exposure to the threatening context is often inaccessible, thus these memories must be indirectly retrieved. Unlike forward-conditioned (FW) cues, where an unconditioned stimulus (US) follows the cue, backward-conditioned (BW) cues are presented immediately after the US. BW cues do not become directly associated with the US, but may indirectly retrieve threat memories via activation of the conditioning context.
