2		Mackintosh argues that the CS preexposure effect is due to the animal learning that the stimulus is .


3		The notion that the ability of a particular stimulus to elicit a CR depends upon its level of conditioning compared to other stimuli gave rise to the theory of Pavlovian conditioning.


4		is Mackintosh's attentional view of the CS preexposure effect.


5		In contrast to input-based models as well as the comparator model, the model proposed by Baker and Mercier (1989) assumes that animals constantly assess past experiences and can modify them based on new information.


6		If an unlikely activity such as cleaning your room is reduced below its baseline level, it can serve as an effective reinforcer, according to theory.


7		Animals in which one activity is contingent upon another emit the minimal number of contingent responses needed to maximize reinforcement. This is known as the view.


8		The law of Richard Herrnstein describes an animal's behavior in a two-choice situation.


9		theory proposes that a particular choice is determined by which alternative is perceived to be best at that moment in time.
