Document Summary
What makes good cs and us: need to know the baseline responses to the cs and us before you begin an experiment (how the animal respond to the first stimuli) The same stimulus may serve as a cs in some experimental situations, and a us in others (relevance: cs and us are relative to each other in the particular paradigm. Like food for cs in context aversion or taste aversion. Using food as cs in cta, but as a us in sign tracking experiment. Sign tracking will use food as the us instead cs and us depend on the context you"re doing: novelty of stimuli (classical condition is slower with familiar stimuli) Classical conditioning is slower when the stimuli used are familiar: latent inhibition (cs pre-exposure) effect: interference with conditioning produced by repeated exposures to the cs before the conditioning trials. If nothing happen, reduces the attention pair to the cs when you pair cs to us in condition trial.
