Backward conditioning experiments have shown that the outcome of the conditioning process may depend on factors other than the CS being a good signal for the onset of the US. In other words, the timing and order of presentation of the CS and US do not always lead to consistent results, and other factors may come into play. This suggests that backward conditioning may not always inhibit or excite conditioned responding, and that the effects of this procedure may be more variable and dependent on the specific conditions of the study.
