Unequal associative changes when excitors and neutral stimuli are conditioned in compound
Article Abstract:
Experiments using a magazine approach in rats and an autoshaping procedure in pigeons with a compound test procedure showed reinforcement produced greater increments for associative strength of the neutral stimulus than for the excitor. Nonreinforcement led to greater decrements for the associative strength of the excitor that the neutral stimulus.
