Reaction times during conditioning and deconditioning.

<p>Average reaction times are displayed per group over blocks of 40 presentations, exemplified by the responses to non-target cues in the NoGo task version with the highest number of responses (no difference was obtained between task versions). Since conditioning-deconditioning sequences comprised 120 presentations during conditioning followed by 40 presentations during deconditioning, block 1 to 3 (labelled C1, C2 and C3) reflect performance during conditioning, whereas block 4 (labelled D) equates to deconditioning. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. Note that reaction times increased significantly during deconditioning compared to any of the conditioning blocks (indicated by asterisks) over all groups.
