A flexible and generalizable model of online latent-state learning

Changes in temporal context also influences beliefs.
A) Experimental results from Brooks and King [48] demonstrating a more robust return of a fear when extinction occurs after a 6 day delay as opposed to immediately after acquisition. Reprinted from “A Retrieval Cue for Extinction Attenuates Spontaneous Recovery” by D.C. Brooks and M.E. Bouton, 1993, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 19, p. 80. Reprinted with permission from the American Psychological Association. B) Simulation results of associative strength and beliefs when a response is reinstated after extinction with and without a change in a temporal context (i.e. a time delay between trials). Our model shows rapid reinstatement is more robust with changes in temporal context, particular in the first few trials of reinstatement. Beliefs are shown for the first latent state. Gray dashed lines demarcate experimental stages.
