From: Investigating the efficacy of the reminder-extinction procedure to disrupt contextual threat memories in humans using immersive Virtual Reality

Figure 6

An isolated reminder before extinction did not affect free exploration behavior after re-extinction of contextual threat conditioned responses. (a) Bar plots reflect mean time spent in the threat (CTX+, red), safe context (CTX−, blue), and hallway (green) for the Reminder-Extinction (solid bars) and Extinction groups (open bars) tested at the end of the experiment. Participants spent similar amounts of time in the CTX+ and CTX−. Error bars = s.e.m., adjacent dots represent jittered individual data-points. (b) Travelled paths are similar in the Reminder-Extinction and Extinction group, and similar for the CTX+ and CTX−. Individual travelled paths are mirrored for a subset of participants to display the CTX+ on the left for all participants.
