While ratings of fear decreased after extinction compared to levels after avoidance for all CS, these effects failed to reach statistical significance after Bonferroni-correction (CS + ( t (32) = 2.31; p = .168; d = 0.41), CS − ( t (32) = 1.85; p = .219; d = 0.33, CS 0 ( t (32) = 0.43; p > .999; d = 0.08)).
