Which of the following is affected by changes in the intensity of the US but NOT by changes in the intensity of the CS?
a. The speed of acquisition
b. The asymptotic level of conditioning
c. The movement ratio
d. The suppression ratio
b. The asymptotic level of conditioning
Answer feedback: Contrasting the results from Exercises 4 and 5 shows that US intensity is what determines the asymptote of conditioning. The asymptote is not affected by changes in CS intensity. However, both US intensity and CS intensity affect the speed of acquisition and thus the movement and suppression ratios.
