1 Rats in one condition received initial Pavlovian discrimination training in which the tone was used to signal food and the clicker to signal a compound reinforcer consisting of food plus a mild electric shock .
2 This hypothesis prompted a series of experiments by Best ( 1975 ) in which a given flavour was established as a conditioned inhibitor ( or a signal for safety ) by an explicit discrimination training procedure in which this flavour was presented along with a previously established CS+ but in the absence of the US .
3 It is well established that explicit discrimination training can render the effects of a conditioning procedure context-dependent .
4 The occasion-setting procedure involves explicit discrimination training ; in the procedure known as feature-positive training , for instance , the subject experiences reinforced trials in the presence of the occasion setter and non-reinforced trials in its absence .
5 We must assume , therefore , that explicit discrimination training will enhance the size of the effect , presumably because it will compel the subject to attend to distinctive and invariant aspects of each stimulus , and to ignore irrelevant aspects .
6 first , they differ about the role of explicit discrimination training .
7 As we have already seen , the results of experiments comparing the effects of mere observation of the stimuli with those produced by explicit discrimination training have turned out to be inconsistent and open to a range of interpretations .
8 But what we need to demonstrate is that the context can acquire modulatory properties even in the absence of explicit training — we are seeking to explain the context-specificity shown by latent inhibition and this is evident without any form of initial discrimination training .
9 We have already seen that subjects given no pre-training do less well in the test phase than those given initial discrimination training and we have acknowledged that unambiguous interpretation of this difference is impossible .
10 Little generalized suppression was shown by the group given initial discrimination training ; that is , these subjects showed a superior ability to discriminate B from A.
11 A difference between the groups on this test ( with the subjects given initial discrimination training being superior ) would constitute a classic demonstration of acquired distinctiveness/equivalence .
12 According to this theory , initial discrimination training should produce differentiation of the stimuli and the fact that the associations formed during this stage of training do not accord with those likely to be formed during the test phase should be of no consequence .
13 The children were divided into two groups for the test phase in which they received successive discrimination training , learning to press one button in response to one of the pre-trained cues and a second button in response to another .
14 Subsequent discrimination training thus occurs between the compound of A and its associate X and of B and its associate Y. If the events used as X and Y differ from each other more than do A and B ( see Fig. 5.10(b) ) then it might be supposed that the compounds would be discriminated more readily than would an untrained A and B. Certainly most proponents of an associative account for acquired distinctiveness effects have taken their analysis no further , implying that the phenomenon follows directly from what has just been said .
