Therapeutic strategies for enhancing inhibitory learning are:
- Expectancy violation
The more the expectancy can be violated by experience, the greater the inhibitory learning - Deepened extinction
Either multiple fear CSs are first extinguished separately before being combined during extinction, or a previously extinguished cue is paried with a novel CS - Ocassional reinforced extinction
Occasional CS-US pairings during extinction training, this enhances the expectancy violation - Removal of safety signals
- Variability
Exposure is conducted to items from the anxiety-hierarchy in random order - Retrieval cues
Cues of the CS-noUS association - Multiple contexts
Context renewal - Reconsolidation
Extinction during a reconsolidation window
