  1. 1[blank_start]Contingency[blank_end] is how predictive the CS is of the US.

    [blank_start]Contiguity[blank_end] is the relationship of a CS and US in time and space.
    1. AContingency
    2. BContiguity
    3. CContinuation
  2. 2[blank_start]Simultaneous conditioning:[blank_end] Very little conditioning

    [blank_start]Trace conditioning:[blank_end] Conditioning depends on size of the trace interval

    [blank_start]Backward conditioning:[blank_end] No conditioning occurs

    [blank_start]Delay conditioning:[blank_end] The most effective conditioning
    1. ASimultaneous conditioning:
    2. BTrace conditioning:
    3. CBackward conditioning:
    4. DDelay conditioning:
    5. EExcitatory:
    6. FInhibitory:
  3. 3What kinds of contingency can we have?
    1. APositive
    2. BNegative
    3. CNone
    4. DDiscriminative
    5. EDisinhibitory
  4. 4Which of the following is NOT a rule from the Rescorla-Wagner model?
    1. AThe larger the discrepancy between the strength of the expectation and
      the strength of the US, the greater the conditioning that occurs (either
      excitatory or inhibitory).
    2. BMore salient CSs will condition faster.
    3. CIf 2 or more CSs are presented together the subjects expectation will be equal to their total strength.
    4. DLatent inhibition occurs because of pre-training of the zero expectations.
  5. 5According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what would negate the blocking effect?
    1. AAn increased US during compound pairing.
    2. BShorter contiguities.
    3. CBetter contingency rates.
    4. DIntroducing a new context.
  6. 6According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, what effect occurs when 2 CSs conditioned separately and presented together but with no increase in the level of US?
    1. AUnblocking
    2. BLatent inhibition
    3. COver-expectation
    4. DOver-excitement
  7. 7In what ways do the comparator theories differ from the Rescorla-Wagner model?
    1. AComparator models assume that the CS and the context acquire excitatory strength.
    2. BComparator theories assume that for a CS to elicit a CR it has to outweigh the CR of the context.
    3. CThe Rescorla-Wagner model assumes that for a CS to elicit a CR it has to outweigh the CR of the context.
    4. DThe Rescorla-Wagner model assumes that the CS and the context acquire excitatory strength.
    5. EOne has maths and the other doesn't
