question 76

Essay

Consider the hypothetical study below, in which subjects experience the following types of training trials:
P1 ( LT+, L-, T-) Light + Tone = food, Light = no food, Tone = no food
P2 (B+, A+, BA-) Buzzer = food, Air puff = food, Buzzer + Air puff = no food
P3 (S+, F+, RC-) Lemon scent = food, Flashing light = food, Rose scent + Click = no food
Predict how subjects would respond in the test phase if they have learned a simple association, versus how they would respond if they had learned a rule, when the following comparisons are made:
1. Lemon scent + Flashing light versus Lemon scent only, Flashing light only
2. Rose scent + Click versus Rose scent only, Pulsed tone only
