It is not a case of simple association: not a driven by frequency, how wrong behaviourist are, complex, cognitive state. Redundancy = irrelevant, which means no conditioning . Therefore anticipation/ preparating = requires more cognitive process. Learning = anticipation ( good thing because you are making sense of something; Use lack of contiguity in an intelligent manner. If ns is of biological relevance and related to organisms. Rat, music, snake: music, relevance relate, anticipation , relevance of information matters. Even with contiguity , ns will not condition unless there is relevance. Organisms dont passively predict, but actively prepare. Complex processing works with relevance: salience: relevant to organisms to influence processing.
