...…psychology, learning a dependency between two events C and A is measured in terms of the contingency DPCA of one event on the other (cf. Rescorla 1968):1 DPCA ¼ PðCjAÞ PðCj:AÞ; wherePmeasures frequencies: Contingency not simply measures whether the probability of C given A is high, but…...

...Thus, it is measured how representative or typical C is for A. Rescorla (1968) showed that rats learn a htone; shocki association if the frequency of shocks immediately after the tone is higher than the frequency of shocks undergone otherwise, even if shocks occur only in, say, 12% of the trials in…...

...2, Rescorla (1968) observed that rats learn a tone (cue/cause)shock (outcome/consequence) association if the frequency of shocks immediately after the tone is higher than the frequency of shocks undergone otherwise....

...…on an operant baseline, and is sufficiently sensitive to the parameters of classical conditioning that the conditioned suppression, or relative reduction, of operant behaviour that results has often been used as a direct measure of the strength of classical conditioning (e.g., Rescorla, 1968)....

...Although such an account is plausible for the present data, it fails to explain the active inhibition of fear found by Rescorla and LoLordo (1965), Rescorla (1966), and Hammond (1967)....
