B) the stimulus substitution model
C) belongingness
D) the compensatory response model

From the choices below, the best evidence that the CS-US interval is a determining factor of the CR is


A) that taste aversion conditioning occurs only with short CS-US intervals.
B) that in quail, short and long presentations of the CS elicit similar responding in a sexual conditioning study.
C) if a car is only 1-2 s away you will jump, if it is 20 s away you will move away, but not jump.
D) These findings are not consistent with the CS-US interval determining the CR.
