Answer: c
3. In a conditioned suppression procedure, the indication that a subject has associated CS and US is
a. an increase in responding when the CS comes on

Page(s): 51Type: factual
Answer: b
4. To measure the amount of conditioning in the conditioned suppression procedure, the rat’s response rate in the presence of the CS is compared to

b. the rat’s response rate in the presence of the US
c. the rat’s response rate just after the CS is presented
d. the response rate of a control subject that is not presented with the CS
