Measurement Problem
True Inhibition
CR actively inhibited no CR
Lack of Excitation
Lack of excitation no CR

Retardation and Summation Tests
Common Treatment Phase
The Experimental Group receives inhibitory
training with CSB .
The Control Group receives no training with CSB
.

Retardation Test

Conditioned Inhibition
Why Does the Experimental Group Learn More Slowly?
The Control Group starts at 0.
Excitation

Going from Trial 1 to Trial 5, the level of
excitation increases.

Conditioned Inhibition
Why Does the Experimental Group Learn More Slowly?
The Experimental Group starts below 0.
Excitation

It takes extra trials to bring them up to 0, then
more trials to raise the level of excitation.

Definition A CS signals the presence of a US
that would not otherwise occur. Standard Method

Nature of Conditioning
Question Does the CS evoke an expectation of
the US (S-S) or does the CS directly elicit the
CR (S-R) ?
