  • Title: Additional exposures to a compound of two preexposed stimuli deepen latent inhibition.
    Author: Leung HT, Killcross AS, Westbrook RF.
    Journal: J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process; 2011 Oct; 37(4):394-406. PubMed ID: 21574736.
    Abstract:
    The present experiments studied the role of error correction mechanisms in the latent inhibition of conditioned fear responses by conditioned stimulus (CS) preexposure. They demonstrated that a preexposed CS subjected to additional exposures in compound with either another preexposed stimulus or a novel stimulus was more latently inhibited than a preexposed CS which received additional exposures in isolation. They also showed that a preexposed CS subjected to additional exposures in compound with another preexposed stimulus was more latently inhibited than a preexposed CS given additional exposures in compound with a novel stimulus. These results were discussed in terms of the Hall-Rodriguez (2010) model of latent inhibition.
