A click and a scent are each separately paired with a shock and conditioned to a maximum associative value. The click and scent
are then combined into a compound stimulus and subjected to further pairings with the same shock. A likely result is that the associative value of one CS will _______ and the associative value of the other CS will _________.
Explanation: Conditioning is a process of learning and behavior modification through stimulus-response mechanisms on the central nervous system of the individual. This process is linked to Behaviorism.
The conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually triggers a conditioned response.
