Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-delayed conditioning is the most frequently used procedure for Pavlovian conditioning. In this procedure, the CS (conditioned stimulus) is presented and then, after a brief delay, the US (unconditioned stimulus) is presented. This delay allows for the formation of an association between the CS and US, without causing the CS to become a predictor of the onset of the US. This procedure has been found to produce robust conditioning in many animal species.
