Multiple Choice
Based on the Rescorla-Wagner model, if the US intensity is increased in the second phase of conditioning, when L is added to a previously conditioned T in a blocking experiment, then the
A) salience of the T will be so much greater than that of the newly added L that the T will continue to accrue all of associative strength, preventing blocking.
B) salience of the new L will be so much greater (due to the surprising change of the US) that CSL will rob the T of its acquired associative strength on every subsequent conditioning trial until L has gained all available associative strength
C) surprising change in the US will double salience of L, causing it to accrue all of the additional associative strength
D) surprising change in the US increases the available associative strength, and thus both L and T will gain additional associative strength and prevent blocking
