Latent inhibition is problematic for the Rescorla-Wagner model because:
A)the model predicts that there will be learning in the pre-exposure phase (phase 1).
B)the model predicts that there will be learning in the training phase (phase 2).
C)the model predicts that there will be no learning in the pre-exposure phase (phase 1).
D)the model predicts that there will be no learning in the training phase (phase 2).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latent inhibition refers to a phenomenon where pre-exposure to a stimulus makes it more difficult to learn about that stimulus later. The Rescorla-Wagner model predicts that learning occurs when there is a discrepancy between the predicted and actual outcome, which occurs during the training phase (phase 2). Therefore, the model would predict no learning during the pre-exposure phase (phase 1), which is consistent with the latent inhibition effect.
