• The First two PDF files are for the Rescorla-Wagner homework.  

The first file has the blank pages, in case you need another copy. The second file contains the answers.

CONDITIONED INHIBITION PROBLEMS: In R-W terms, a conditioned inhibitor has a negative V.

We have not covered this fully yet, but I think you have enough information to attempt the first one of these (A–US, AB–).

If you follow the rules at the bottom of the sheet, you should be able to do this problem.

The second problem (A–US, B–) is more difficult because if we just do the formula delta-Vb will always be zero, so it will never be a conditioned inhibitor.  Consequently, to do this problem we assume that the context (C) is present on both types of trials.  Thus every trial is a compound trial (AC–US, BC–).  This way, Va becomes positive and Vb will become negative.

Give it a try!  Math is FUN!
