Jesse thinks that signaling the start and end of everything in an experiment will facilitate learning. He arranges two groups of animals in a learning experiment. In Group A a light is followed by a shock. In Group B the light is followed by a shock, which is then followed by a tone to signal that the shock is over. He expects Group B to learn better than Group A because the events are better signaled. What would Wagner's short-term memory model predict here? Why?
