Objective: The study was designed to investigate the effect of retrospective revaluation on the return of fear after extinction. Methods: Participants were 14 male and 16 female college students. The experimental design was a 4 (phase: baseline, acquisition, extinction, test)×3(CS: CSl, CSr, CSn) within subjects. Two novel animal phones were presented as CS+s, one followed an unpleasant sound from the left headphone, labeled CSl, the other followed an unpleasant sound from the right headphone, labeled CSr. All the participants went through the same baseline, acquisition, extinction phases. Results: The skin conductance response and the unexpected stimuli(US) expectancy of CSl increased significantly compared to that of CSr and CSn. Conclusion: Retrospective inferences concerning the absence of the US during extinction may give rise to a return of fear.
