| Summary |
Recently, investigators have claimed that whereas in many Pavlovian conditioning paradigms a conditioned stimulus (CS) elicits a conditioned response (CR) because it signals the occurrence of an unconditioned stimulus, in other paradigms a CS elicits a CR because it sets the occasion for the responding produced by another CS. A group of experimental psychologists and theoreticians who authored the chapters in this book discuss the current status of data and theories concerning simple classical conditioning and occasion setting.
