...This idea is supported by several studies investigating conditioned inhibition (Rescorla, 1969), learned safety (Pollak et al....

...Through fear conditioning, a previously neutral stimulus (CS+) that is repeatedly paired with an aversive, unconditioned stimulus (US), elicits a conditioned response (CR) even when the US is no longer presented (Pavlov, 1927; Rescorla, 1969; Watson & Rayner, 1920)....

...In other words, learning is influenced not only by the probability of the US in the presence of the CS, but also by the probability of the US in the absence of the CS (Rescorla, 1968)....

...Therefore, the contradiction between the Rescorla-Wagner model and Rescorla’s (1968) experiments could be due to the dependent variable used by Rescorla (1968)....

...…trying to conclude that the Rescorla-Wagner model is wrong, but simply that there is an obvious contradiction between the experiments performed by Rescorla (1968) and the Rescorla-Wagner model, and that this contradiction has not been made explicit in the animal or the human learning literature,…...

...As we have shown, this is contrary to the pattern of results reported by Rescorla (1968), which showed an absence of fear in that situation....

...Rescorla (1968) found that for a given probability of the US given the CS, the conditioned response (CR) was negatively correlated with the probability of the US in the absence of the CS....

...For example, the Pavlovian degraded contingency effect (DCE), first described in rats by Rescorla (1968) is a simple and fundamental phenomenon in which the addition of unsignalled unconditioned stimuli (US, e.g. a footshock) during the contingent pairing of a target event such as a tone (the…...
