Learning can sometimes occur with an unusually long delay between stimuli, particularly in taste aversion, which was a problem for the generality of the laws of learning. This problem was mediated by which observation?
A) Under some conditions taste and illness are no more associable than a taste and shock.
B) Taste aversion learning is less susceptible to latent inhibition than other forms of learning.
C) There are fewer relevant interfering stimuli that can occur between a taste and an illness than between most other CS's and US's.
D) Rats that remain in a maze during a long delay before receiving the reward learn surprisingly well.

Taste aversion learning is unique because there are typically fewer interfering stimuli between the conditioned stimulus (taste) and the unconditioned stimulus (illness), making the association stronger and more resistant to the delay between stimuli.
