...Relation to other learning theories These results are interesting in light of Rescorla’s experiments where a strong effect of punishment as a reinforcer of Pavlovian conditioning was commonly observed (Rescorla, 1968; Rescorla 1988a; Rescorla 1988b)....

...For example, Rescorla (1968) manipulated the probability of receiving a US in the presence of a CS [p(US/CS)] and the probability of receiving a US in the absence of a CS [p(US/ ~ CS)]....
