According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, inhibition is the opposite of excitation. The model states that the strength of a conditioned response depends on the surprise or unexpectedness of the unconditioned stimulus. If a conditioned stimulus is paired with a weaker than expected unconditioned stimulus, the strength of the response will decrease, or be inhibited, which is the opposite of excitation.
