Following compound conditioning with a medium-intensity light (CSML) and a medium-intensity tone (CSMT) in Exercise 6, presentation of the two CSs separately in a pair of extinction trials showed that the
a. amount of conditioning for each CS was equivalent to that for the compound CS.
b. light had acquired a much larger amount of conditioning than the tone had.
c. tone had acquired a much larger amount of conditioning that the light had.
d. amount of conditioning for the two CSs was essentially equivalent.
d. amount of conditioning for the two CSs was essentially equivalent.
Answer feedback: The amount of conditioning for the light and the tone in the extinction trials was approximately half of what it had been for the compound CS and was approximately equal for the two CSs.
