Forward pairing (CS followed by UCS)typically produces the strongest learning;simultaneous pairing produces weaker learning;and backward pairing (UCS followed by the CS)produces the weakest learning.This makes sense based on:

The expectancy model states that learning occurs through the formation of associations between stimuli and responses, and the strength of those associations is determined by the degree of expectancy that exists between them. Forward pairing (CS followed by UCS) creates a strong sense of expectancy, leading to the strongest learning. Simultaneous pairing creates some sense of expectancy, but not as strong, leading to weaker learning. Backward pairing creates little or no expectancy, leading to the weakest learning. Therefore, the best choice is D - the expectancy model.
