The comparator hypothesis suggests that whether conditioned responding reflects excitation or inhibition depends on the excitatory value of the CS relative to the context in which it was presented. The Rescorla-Wagner model partially accounts for this by proposing that the strength of learning during training depends in part on the discrepancy between the predicted and actual outcomes, but it does not explicitly address the role of contextual cues. Attentional models focus on the role of attention in learning but do not address the question of whether responding reflects excitation or inhibition. Temporal models focus on the timing of CS-US presentations but do not address the question of contextual cues.
