Conditioned stimulus intensity and temporal factors in spaced-trial classical conditioning.

Abstract

Used dogs in a classical conditioning situation with UCS a shock to paw and CS a tone. "Mean total number of CR's and mean total reciprocal latency measures were found to vary directly with CS intensity and to vary inversely, with a single inversion of order, with length of CSUCS overlap." These results are discussed in terms of Hullian and contiguity theory. 23 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
