In one experiment with human participants, we investigated the effects of using multiple contexts during extinction on the renewal of operant responses. Undergraduate students played a videogame in which they learned to shoot at enemies in Context A. Then, all participants experienced an extinction training. For half of the participants, extinction trials were conducted in a single context, whereas the other half received extinction in three different contexts. Finally, all participants were tested in Context A. We observed that conducting extinction in multiple contexts attenuated ABA renewal. The present results suggest that conducting extinction in multiple contexts can be used as a behavioral technique to reduce operant renewal.
在一项有人类参与者参与的实验中，我们研究了在消退过程中使用多种情境对操作性反应的重现的影响。大学生玩了一个电子游戏，在游戏中他们学会了在情境 A 中向敌人射击。然后，所有参与者都经历了一次消退训练。对于一半的参与者，消退试验在一个单一的情境中进行，而另一半则在三个不同的情境中进行。最后，所有参与者都在情境 A 中进行测试。我们发现，在多个情境中进行消退可以减弱 ABA 重现。本研究结果表明，在多个情境中进行消退可以作为一种行为技术，用于减少操作性反应的重现。
