Rescorla-Wagner equation
change in strength= CS salience (US size - sum of how much US is predicted)

Ross and Holland, (1981)
L and T- food, t on own- nothing, noticed that auditory and visual stim elicit dif behaviours in rat- auditory- headjerk, visual- rearing- so when tone signalled nothing rearing to light, when light nothing head jerking to tone- consistent with RW

two animal groups FP light>tone>food, tone>no food, PP light>t>f t>nf l>nf light food assoc responsible for discrim in group FP then PP should not show any discrim- positive patterning discrim

light is still controlling response to tone despite not assoc with anything- standard assoc theory cannot explain- conditional cue/modulator/facilitator/occasion setter

Holland and Lamarre, (1984)
SIM l&t> nothing, t>shock, SER L>t>nothing t>shock - both groups less fear when L present- Pav inhib light nhibit shock- opposite excitation

Holland and Lamarre, (1984) ....
SIM l&T>n, t> shock or noise>shock test noise vs noise light- light inhib will suppress conditioning to noise. SER- light not conditioned inhib- lights effect on tone not assoc does not affect fear to noise

Rescorla, (1985)
light with food positive occasion setters lowers US activation threshold tf easier for CS to activate

Holland (1983)
"and gate theory" light between tone and food- light acts as an and-gate allow acti to flow from CS(t) to US (food) and so elicit CR

Holland, (1986) Rescorla (1985)
l>t>f, t>no food, click>food, test L>t or L>click? Rescorla predicts light should turn off the noiseshock just as well as the toneshock association Holland says it should have no effect at all

SER L>t>nothing t>shcok noise>shock, TEST L>t, l>n, rescrola wrong- light has no effect on noise- shock assoc

Bouton and Nelson, (1998)
RW extinction erases assoc strenght but spontaneous recovery t>food, t>nothing no CR but if test tone some CR returns- suggest extinction produces inhib assoc that counteracts excit assoc
11 of 12
....
l>t>food, t>nothing- when tone paired with food increase assoc strenght, tone with nothing decreases- both excit and inhib links with US maybe light inhib the inhib link
