In the Rescorla-Wagner model,an associative weight of 50 would indicate that the CS predicts the US ______ of the time.
A)0%
B)25%
C)50%
D)100%

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Rescorla-Wagner model, the associative weight represents the strength of the association between the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (US). An associative weight of 50 means that the CS predicts the US 50% of the time, which is half of the trials. Therefore, option C) is the correct choice. Options A) and D) are incorrect because an associative weight of 0% or 100% would mean that the CS does not predict the US at all or predicts it perfectly, respectively. Option B) is incorrect because an associative weight of 25% would mean that the CS only predicts the US on 25% of the trials, which is less than half of the time.
