A traditional way of inducing reconsolidation of associative fear memory is to present the conditioning stimulus (CS), which reactivates the memory trace. The current study shows that an unconditioned stimulus (US)—often stronger in perceptual intensity than CS—on its own can trigger memory reconsolidation that is specific for the sensory properties of the US.
