q3 i? Post-experiment reports showed the nonmonitored-ear group largely failed to detect the CS during preexposure, while the monitored-ear group largely detected it. → A. Ginton 1975

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Post-experiment debriefing of the two CS-preexposure groups after they were told what the CS was. "Eight of the subjects in the PE/M group reported hearing the CS during the PE phase, whereas only one subject in the PE/NM group reported hearing the CS during preexposure."

"Eight of the subjects in the PE/M group reported hearing the CS during the PE phase, whereas only one subject in the PE/NM group reported hearing the CS during preexposure."
