From: Context-dependent extinction of threat memories: influences of healthy aging
Skin conductance responses. Graphs illustrate mean skin conductance responses (SCRs) to the conditioned (CS+) and neutral (CS−) stimuli during early and late blocks, in young (A) and older (B) participants on Day 1 (threat acquisition and extinction phase) and Day 2 (extinction recall and threat renewal phase). Data demonstrate no effect of aging on threat acquisition and extinction on Day 1. In contrast, only older participants failed to recall the previous extinction in the safe context on Day 2, while young participants specifically adapted their conditioned responses according to the context. Error bars represent standard error.
