Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pearce-Hall and Mackintosh models both predict latent inhibition, where pre-exposure to a stimulus without any consequence reduces the ability of that stimulus to be conditioned later. However, they differ in their predictions regarding blocking, where a previously learned association prevents the learning of a new association with the same stimulus.
