Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preexposure of a conditioned stimulus (CS) or an unconditioned stimulus (US) typically slows classical conditioning, a phenomenon known as latent inhibition. This occurs because the preexposed stimulus becomes familiar to the subject, making it harder for the subject to associate it with a new stimulus during conditioning.
