Refer to the scenario below to answer the questions that follow.
In an extended experiment, rats receive five kinds of trials within four-hour-long sessions of daily training over a period of five months. A tone is followed by food only when it is preceded by a small light on the left side of the wall (L_L) ; no food is given when the tone is presented by itself (L_L→T+, T‒) . A small light on the right side of the wall (R_L) is followed by food when it was preceded by a clicker; no food is given when the tone is presented by itself (C→R_L+, R_L‒) . Finally, a white noise (N) is followed by food 40% of the time.
-Suppose C is not found to be an occasion setter. Which change to the experimental design would make C an occasion setter?

The Answer of Refer to the scenario below to answer the questions that follow. In an extended experiment, rats receive five kinds of trials within four-hour-long sessions of daily training over a period of five months. A tone is followed by food only when it is preceded by a small light on the left side of the wall (L L ); no food is given when the tone is presented by itself (L L →T+, T‒). A small light on the right side of the wall (R L ) is followed by food when it was preceded by a clicker; no food is given when the tone is presented by itself (C→R L +, R L ‒). Finally, a white noise (N) is followed by food 40% of the time. -Suppose C is not found to be an occasion setter. Which change to the experimental design would make C an occasion setter? A) Moving it closer in time to R_L B) Making it simultaneous with R_L C) Decreasing its salience D) Increasing its salience
