Conducting extinction treatment in multiple contexts was expected to attenuate the renewal effect.
Animals that were reversed in a different context showed a renewal effect to the initial S-R when brought back to the original training context.
The use of multiple extinction treatments in a clinical setting may not necessarily reduce the likelihood of relapse via a renewal effect.
Overall, a context × stress interaction occurred, revealing that stress attenuated skin conductance responses in the extinction context B. Stress also reduced UCS expectancy in context B. Additionally, stress abolished the renewal effect (differentiation between CS in context A) at the electrodermal level.
Thus, a renewal effect should be observed in both experimental conditions.
Alternatively, a context change theory might interpret the findings as evidence for a renewal effect.

However, more recently, it has been shown that subtle differences in context show renewal effects.
Thomas et al. (2003), for example, found that small changes of odor, location within a room, or unintended differences between Skinner boxes suffice to create renewal effects.
