D) Neither a nor b

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retardation of acquisition tests and summation tests both provide evidence that inhibitory S-R associations develop during extinction. Retardation of acquisition tests show that animals who have gone through extinction training are slower to learn a new response to the previously extinguished stimulus, indicating that the original inhibitory learning is still present. Summation tests show that when two previously extinguished stimuli are presented together, their inhibitory effects combine, further indicating the presence of inhibitory learning.
