The four models of first-order and higher-order (specifically, second-order) conditioning in Exercise 18 made differential predictions of the outcome when the UR was habituated in Stage 3. Which of the models predicted that, following such habituation, the CR to the tone (CSMT) and the CR to the light (CSML) both would no longer occur?
a. S-R, S-R
b. S-R, S-S
c. S-S, S-S
d. S-S, S-R
c. S-S, S-S
Answer feedback: According to the S-S, S-S model, habituating the UR will eliminate the CR. In other words, the subject will respond to the tone in the same way it would to the shock. Since the UR no longer occurs, the CR will disappear as well. Similarly, because the tone no longer elicits a CR, there will be no CR in response to the light.
