DESCRIPTION:The renewal effect refers to the recovery of an extinguished c
 onditioned response as the result of a change in the context where that ex
 tinction took place.  The present talk will draw on existing and new data 
 to differentiate the renewal effect from other phenomena found in associat
 ive learning.  It will show that renewal is a phenomenon separable from as
 sociative summation or generalization decrement and does depend on the ext
 inction context serving a role in something like memory retrieval.  I will
  review my work in determining the conditions under which contexts come to
  control relationships embedded within them and discuss the difficulties i
 nherent in explaining the phenomenon.
