Reanalysis 1Here we report an exploratory set of analyses of our Experiment 3 with different exclusion criteria.The analyses replicate those reported in the main text but we included participants who made no more than one incorrect response in the intermittent US identification task-some participants reported accidentally clicking the wrong button-but we excluded the three participants who responded with the scale mid-point in CS pleasantness ratings to all CSs. Participants.For Experiment 3, we recruited 273 new participants.We excluded 17 participants who performed the category recognition task at chance level, that is, participants who respond correctly to 25% or less of all category recognition questions, 25 participants who gave more than one incorrect response to the identification task, three participants who invariably responded with the scale mid-point in CS pleasantness ratings to all CSs, and one participant who aborted the experiment.Thus, we stopped collecting data after 229 valid participants.Participants mean age was 23.39 years (SD = 6.23), 164 were female, and 32 studied psychology or media psychology.8 participants reported vision impairments; five were red-green color blind, one had astigmatism and another had a blind eye.82 participants reported to have prior knowledge about the CS pictures.On average, participants took 49.62 minutes (SD = 12.71) to complete the study. Results US expectancy.End-of-study US expectancy ratings were consistent with the intermittent ratings that we observed in Experiment 2. As in the previous experiments, we analyzed expectancies of the correct US but show a difference score between expectancy of positive and negative US in Figure 1.As predicted, we found strong evidence that the changes in expectancy of the correct US category across experimental contexts differed between acquisition and extinction learning schedules, BF 10 = 3.98 × 10 31 .We observed
