The temporal coding hypothesis suggests that a subject will do which of the following?
A)will not learn CS-US associations
B)will learn CS-US associations and learn when the US occurs in relation to the CS
C)will learn temporal relations only in short-delay situations, accounting for the strong conditioning that occurs in this procedure

The temporal coding hypothesis suggests that a subject will learn CS-US associations and learn when the US occurs in relation to the CS. This would suggest that the subject is able to encode and learn the temporal relationship between the CS and US. Choice A is incorrect as the hypothesis suggests that the subject will learn CS-US associations. Choice C is incorrect as the hypothesis suggests that the subject can learn temporal relations in all situations, not just short-delay situations. Choice D is incorrect as the hypothesis does not suggest that the subject will only learn in long-delay situations, but rather that they are able to learn temporal relations in all situations.
