❌ is how predictive the CS is of the US.
❌ is the relationship of a CS and US in time and space.
❌ Very little conditioning
❌ Conditioning depends on size of the trace interval
❌ No conditioning occurs
❌ The most effective conditioning
What kinds of contingency can we have?
Positive
Negative
None
Discriminative
Disinhibitory
Which of the following is NOT a rule from the Rescorla-Wagner model?
The larger the discrepancy between the strength of the expectation and the strength of the US, the greater the conditioning that occurs (either excitatory or inhibitory).
More salient CSs will condition faster.
If 2 or more CSs are presented together the subjects expectation will be equal to their total strength.
Latent inhibition occurs because of pre-training of the zero expectations.
According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what would negate the blocking effect?
An increased US during compound pairing.
Shorter contiguities.
Better contingency rates.
Introducing a new context.
According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what effect occurs when 2 CSs conditioned separately and presented together but with no increase in the level of US?
Unblocking
Latent inhibition
Over-expectation
Over-excitement
In what ways do the comparator theories differ from the Rescorla-Wagner model?
Comparator models assume that the CS and the context acquire excitatory strength.
Comparator theories assume that for a CS to elicit a CR it has to outweigh the CR of the context.
The Rescorla-Wagner model assumes that for a CS to elicit a CR it has to outweigh the CR of the context.
The Rescorla-Wagner model assumes that the CS and the context acquire excitatory strength.
