The experiment has three phases: two training
phases and a test phase. In the first training phase, there is only one
predictive stimulus (CS), either a noise or a light (depending on which
group Each occurrence of the CS terminates in a reinforcement (dot = shock
in someversions of the experiment, food in other versions). In the second
training phase, a second CS (either the light or the noise) is presented
together with the first CS (�in compound�) The compound CSs also terminate
in reinforcement (dots). In the testing phase, each CS is presented in
isolation and the amount of conditioned (learned) responding is measured |
