I should point out that Choi, Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel, Clifford and McNally (2019) used a counter-conditioning procedure that was highly similar to that previously used by Holmes, Leung, and Westbrook (2016) in a paper titled "Counterconditioned fear responses exhibit greater renewal than extinguished fear responses" published in Learning and Memory, a fact which they have failed to mention or acknowledge in their paper. However, they cited another paper by Holmes and Westbrook (2014) which used a context conditioning procedure, rather than discrete CS conditioning. Adding a reference to the said paper by Holmes, Leung, and Westbrook (2016) would be quite appropriate.
