Fear conditioning on Day 1 was established by pairing a geometrical shape (square or triangle) with a screaming sound. On Day 2, a brief memory reminder CS+ was given to both experimental groups (RE and MRE). Following the reminder, the MRE group was subjected to a musical intervention after a 10-minute interval, and all three groups underwent extinction training. On the third day of the experiment, fear was reinstated through the implementation of four un-signaled unconditioned stimuli (UCSs) across all three groups, which was subsequently followed by extinction training.
