Resumen Los fenómenos de recuperación de respuestas (ie renovación contextual, restablecimiento y recuperación espontánea) sugieren que, a pesar del decremento en la frecuencia de la respuesta, las asociaciones establecidas en la adquisición se conservan intactas durante la extinción. En el presente trabajo se hace una revisión de la evidencia sobre estos fenómenos, así como del modelo de recuperación de información de Bouton, el cual propone que el contexto funciona como un configurador de ocasión. Posteriormente, ...

Pavlovian phenomena have long served as models for the etiology, treatment, and relapse from treatment of diverse disorders (e.g., phobias, addictions). Here we briefly review Pavlovian conditioning models of anxiety disorders, experimental extinction models of exposure therapy, and recovery from extinction models of relapse following exposure therapy. We then focus on how research on experimental extinction has led to the development of specific behavioral techniques to reduce recovery from extinction and hence relapse from exposure therapy. These techniques include conducting extinction treatment in multiple contexts, giving a massive amount of extinction, increasing the time between extinction trials and between extinction sessions, administering extinction in the presence of a second excitor, and testing in the presence of a retrieval cue from extinction. It is concluded that these behavioral techniques, all ofwhich were discovered in the experimental laboratory, are potent and important tools to be considered by psychotherapists trying to make their patients less susceptible to relapse.
