Suppose we pair just a tone with a shock for many trials until the CR is reliably elicited by the tone,then we pair the tone plus a light with a shock.According to the Rescorla-Wagner model,at the end of the second phase of training: A)the prediction error will be 100. B)W_TONE will be close to 50. C)W_LIGHT will be close to 0. D)the Expected US will be close to 50.

According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, the strength of the association between the tone and shock will decrease as a result of adding the light as a new predictor. Therefore, the prediction error for the tone will be reduced, while it will be close to zero for the light. Thus, W_LIGHT will be close to 0.
