In the Rescorla-Wagner model,if the associative weight for CS₁ is 20 and the associative weight for CS₂ is 30,then the expectation of the US is: A)10. B)600. C)-10. D)50.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, the associative weight of the CS- US pairing determines the level of surprise or expectation of the US. The sum of associative weights across all CSs equals the expectation of the US.

Therefore, for this question, the sum of associative weights is 20+30=50. Hence, the expectation of the US is 50, and the closest answer choice to this value is D) 50. Thus, the best choice is D.
