Subclaims¶

q3 i? Both the monitored-ear and nonmonitored-ear preexposed groups showed significant latent inhibition relative to their matched nonpreexposed controls. → A. Ginton 1975

Evidence¶

A. Ginton 1975¶

A. Ginton, G. Urca, and R. E. Lubow. (1975). The effects of preexposure to a nonattended stimulus on subsequent learning: Latent inhibition in adults. Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1975, Vol. 5 (1), 5-8. https://doi.org/10.3758/bf03336682

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Experiment comparing preexposed and nonpreexposed groups within each ear condition. "The difference between the two M groups was found to be significant" (U = 15, p < .01), "as was the difference between the two NM groups" (U = 17, p < .01).

"The difference between the two M groups was found to be significant (U = 15, P < .01, one-tailed), as was the difference between the two NM groups (U = 17, p < .01, one-tailed), thus indicating that there was a latent inhibition effect irrespective of whether preexposure of the to-be-conditioned stimulus was to the monitored ear or to the nonmonitored ear ."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The inattention manipulation was behaviorally verified: only one of 10 nonmonitored-ear subjects reported hearing the CS during preexposure versus eight of 10 monitored-ear subjects — related
• Nonreinforced preexposure of a to-be-conditioned stimulus produces a strong latent inhibition effect in adult humans — related
• Latent inhibition in adults occurs even when the CS is preexposed under severe conditions of inattention — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
