The Rescorla-Wagner model predicts that as CS-US pairings increase, the associative strength (ΔV) of the conditioned stimulus towards the unconditioned stimulus approaches a maximum limit, leading to a decrease in the amount of learning (ΔV) that occurs with each additional pairing. This is because the model posits that the potential for learning is finite and diminishes as the association between the CS and US strengthens.
