a Valence ratings (raw value) during the habituation (Hab), acquisition (Acq 1–Acq 4), and extinction phases (Ext 1–Ext3).b Differential valence ratings (raw value) of CSincrease/CSdecrease relative to CSmedium (i.e., |(CSmedium−CSdecrease|) during the habituation (Hab), acquisition (Acq 1−Acq 4), and extinction phases (Ext 1−Ext3). An absolute difference of 0 (solid line) indicates equal valence ratings for CSincrease/CSdecrease and CSmedium. Ratings are given as means ± standard error of the mean. Single data points in transparent colors. Dashed lines separate the phases. Data are provided for N = 36 subjects.
