While researchers have demonstrated a number of classic learning phenomena in honeybees, the failure to readily find evidence of _______ in honeybees raises the question of whether all the laws of learning in vertebrates apply to invertebrates.
A) negative contrast effects
B) blocking
C) conditioned inhibition
D) compound potentiation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditioned inhibition is a learning phenomenon in which a conditioned stimulus (CS) that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US) to produce a conditioned response (CR) is later paired with a new US that does not produce a CR. As a result, the CS no longer produces a CR when paired with the original US. This phenomenon has not been readily found in honeybees, which raises the question of whether all the laws of learning in vertebrates apply to invertebrates.
