The Rescorla-Wagner model predicts the blocking phenomenon because F1F1F1S1F1F1F10V = F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 on the compound conditioning trials. This means that the presence of the first stimulus (F1) on the compound trials blocks the formation of an association between the second stimulus (S1) and the outcome (V).
