“…When discrete CSs are tested in such contexts, fear to the context summates with fear to a discrete CS (e.g., Balaz et al, 1981, 1982; Polack, Laborda, & Miller, 2013). Contexts acting as cues may also interact with discrete stimuli by entering into competition with these cues, as is most evident when training trials are massed (e.g., Barela, 1999; Miguez, Witnauer, Laborda, & Miller, 2014), or when USs alone are administered before (e.g., Randich & Ross, 1984) or during conditioning (e.g., Rescorla, 1968; Miguez, Witnauer, & Miller, 2012; Urcelay & Miller, 2006). In some circumstances, the cue-like properties of a context as a direct predictor of a US and as a cue that competes with discrete CSs may interact (Polack et al, 2013).…”
