Description
Summary:"A model derived from statistical learning theory was tested with rats in a T maze. The major independent variables were two sequentially dependent reward schedules and four intertrial intervals. After preliminary training under massed trials, the Ss [naive hooded rats] under a given reward schedule were rotated through each intertrial interval in accordance with a latin square design . . . . In general, the theory successfully predicted changes in conditional response probability as a function of both trial spacing and various sequences of rewards."
