Are juxtaposition experiences in Coherence Therapy ever unsuccessful?
Yes. In the minority of cases where the original memory still gets re-evoked in response to the test, this tells us that the juxtaposition experience either needs to be repeated; or that resistance to schema dissolution is occurring, which is a topic in itself; or that there exists some other component of the original schema that was not specifically disconfirmed and needs its own juxtaposition experience (real-life emotional schemas typically have several linked components). Q: Does reconsolidation actually erase the physical existence of the neural circuits storing an implicit memory? Or do the neural circuits still exist, but with altered contents of the memory that is encoded by them? A: There appear to exist both types of outcomes, depending on the type of reconsolidation experiment. In many reconsolidation studies using animals, researchers reactivated an implicit memory that they had previously created, de-consolidating the memory and opening up the reconsolidation window. They
