It has been reported that in certain phenomena (spontaneous recovery, reacquisition, resurgence and contextual renewal) it is possible to observe the recovery of a previously extinguished response. Contextual renewal refers to the reappearance of an extinguished response that result from a change of context between the extinction and testing phase. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate contextual renewal, considering both the temporal distribution of the responses and the response rate. A recovery of the response rate was found, being a result consistent with those reported in the area of ​​contextual renewal. In addition, a renewal of the temporal distribution of the responses could be identified. The results are discussed by recognizing that rate and temporal distribution are two behavioral dimensions that are modulated by contextual changes.

Palabras clave : Acquisition; extinction; contextual renewal; fixed interval; rats.
