question 71

Multiple Choice

Two different stimuli (a light and a tone) are separately turned into conditioned inhibitors for an excitatory food stimulus (signaled by a buzzer) . Then light and tone are put in compound and presented together without food for many trials. The Rescorla-Wagner model would predict that on each conditioning trial,

• A) the tone will become less inhibitory as the light becomes more inhibitory.
• B) the light will become less inhibitory as the tone becomes more inhibitory.
• C) both the light and the tone will become more inhibitory until both are twice as inhibitory as they were at the start of training.
• D) both light and tone will lose inhibition.
