Seligman's research on conditioned taste aversion showed that only a single pairing of the conditioned stimulus (CS) with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) was needed to produce a taste aversion. This is contrary to most classical conditioning processes, where multiple pairings are necessary. Additionally, once a taste aversion has been conditioned, it can be relatively difficult to extinguish, and it is not necessarily the case that an aversion to similar stimuli will emerge.
