The findings from Pavlovian instrumental transfer experiments generally support
A)the Hull-Spence rg-sg mechanism.
B)reward-specific expectancy theory.
C)the modern two-process theory.
D)SOP and AESOP theories.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The modern two-process theory suggests that there are separate Pavlovian and instrumental learning processes that influence behavior. Pavlovian instrumental transfer experiments support this theory by showing that Pavlovian cues can influence instrumental behavior, but only when they are associated with the same outcome as the instrumental response. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Choices A, B, and D are not as directly supported by the findings from Pavlovian instrumental transfer experiments.
