In associative learning, the development of associative strength is most effectively achieved through the pairing of a conditioned stimulus (CS) with an unconditioned stimulus (US) (indicated by "+"), and also by presenting the CS and US separately without pairing (indicated by "-"). Option C, JO+, JO-, VO+, VO-, represents this approach by pairing and separating the stimuli, allowing for the differentiation and association necessary for learning.
