1. Accordingly, pre-exposure to the context can be expected to attenuate the extent to which latent inhibition will develop context-specificity. 2. Exposure to the AB compound itself will be much more likely to generate latent inhibition. 3. If so, an equivalent effect can be expected in latent inhibition. 4. In this case, latent inhibition and habituation would indeed reduce to essentially the same thing. 5. Most of the relevant experimental evidence on this issue comes not from studies of latent inhibition but from investigations of conditioning itself. 6. One is that latent inhibition should not be interpreted as being the result of a loss of stimulus associability. 7. Other interference theories attribute latent inhibition to the effects of an association between the pre-exposed stimulus and its consequences. 8. Other theories of latent inhibition have taken a quite different view of the phenomenon. 9. The status of latent inhibition was assessed in a final stage of training that immediately followed the habituation test. |
