The tendency for the movement ratios on Type A trials to be higher than those on Type B trials by the end of Stage 1 of the experimental condition in Exercise 10 is evidence that the
a. tone was more salient than the light.
b. light was more salient than the tone.
c. tone had become an inhibitory CS.
d. light had become an inhibitory CS.
c. tone had become an inhibitory CS.
Answer feedback: The two CSs were selected to have equal salience (medium-intensity). However, the tone was presented as a compound CS with the light in the absence of shock (Type B), and because the light was always paired with shock when presented by itself (Type A), the tone became an inhibitory CS. This was reflected in lower movement ratios during Type B trials as Stage 1 progressed.
